What will 2 7970 make me lite/bit coin mining. (24/7)

[ProGearUk]

I was wondering what how much I could expect to make if i was to do coin mining with one 7970 to start off with and soon I will be doing it with 2. Thanks guys.

litecoin will be similar just khash/sec instead of mhash/sec from what I understand.

the difficulty is increasing and the value is always changing. 

right now you should be getting around $4 a day

7970 gets around 630-700 Mh/s I think... Depending on factory OC core clock speed.

Two of them would be double if not close to double those numbers.

Good website to use to see how much you could make

If you want to configure it for litecoins rather than bitcoins then enter the following

Difficulty: 605

Bitcoins per Block (BTC/block): 50

Conversion rate (USD/BTC): 2.59

 

And see this for comparison of hardware for litecoins

You should be able to  easily get at least 600Kh/s per card on litecoins. The price has been down this week, but you should still be able to make $5.27 per day at current difficulty and market price of $2.7 and 1200 Kh/s.

Check out this chart to see approximately what you can get out of your card mining litecoins.

 

I was assuming a very conservative 600kh/s each  for your 7970s(if you got another one). You should be able to earn  1.9 litecoins per day. At the current market price on btc-e of 2.8 (that's right now, the price changes constantly) you should make about $5.47 per day.

I don't know much about this mining/folding stuff at all, but I don't see how you are going to make any money if that's what your main goal is. Face it, if you are making $5 / day, when you factor in the cost of the rig + the power bill for running your computer 24 / 7, you aren't going to make anything (imo).

Wrong, with my four cards running I can generate 2100kh/s, running this for a month can generate me approx 100 ltc. If I hold on to them and sell them at $4 dollars(where the price was a week or two ago) I just made $350 (after power) from my computers. This is running mostly hardware that I bought long before starting mining. That $350 dollars can by half my mortgage for the month. :P

I was directing that post to the OP himself, as you said he would be making around $5.27 / day. Anyway, like I said I know next to nothing about this stuff but when I saw that he would most likely be making $5 a day, it makes me doubt that there's a profit in there (in his situtation, not yours)

As long as he has a low enough  electricity rate it should still be worth it. After running his cards for 2-3 months they should be able to pay for themselves. Investing in graphics cards isn't like sinking money into ASICs for Bitcoin. If the markets crashes their will still be a market for graphics cards.

power is not really an issue because I will have the server at work.

$5 a day might not seem like much, but it adds up.  Especially considering how it requires no effort.   An extra $150 a month (more if he holds) can be a nice, albeit little, bonus.

as for mining you should checkout novacoin it just started up so with 600-700 you will roughly make between 20 and 24 novacoins.

at market price that is 60-69 USD per month
