Might be worth it now if you hold on to your coins until it skyrockets to Bitcoin levels. Or the fad will fizzle and die and you wasted a whole bunch of money on electricity for nothing :P

 

I think it's worth it provided your energy bill doesn't go up a whole lot.

I've been stuck on the same issue for a few weeks now, I can't get my CGminer to work, as it crashes right away, and I can't find help anywhere...

 

However, I think it would be worth it if you could make everything else in the system very low power, and find a way to properly cool those volcanoes.

7950s and 7970s are the best value by far right now (Yes it is worth mining)

Solo mining isn't worthwhile for the most part but if you just want to know how I am sure that there are guides on bitcointalk.org under the altcoins section

Re-install graphics drivers.

This is to give you an idea on which GPU's perform the best.

If I were you, I'd get a bunch of 7950's and overclock them beyond a ghz. Four of them will cost $800+, but it will give you a net profit of about $1700 per month, with the power consumption taken into consideration.

Actually, 4x R9 290X will give you about 3,500+ kh/s.

You can get a maximum of 900 Kh/s from each card. Max he can get 3600kh/s. Which is doubtful because you have to OC the cards to reach that high. I'd bet somewhere in the 750-ish ranger per card.

Power usage aside. I'd say you could get around $2,000 a month running them 24/7

You can get 882 kh/s per card at 950mhz core, which is the stock clock.

You're reading from the hardware comparison charts. Those are professionals. People that have been doing this for years. I guarantee you don't get that high a hash rate without at least 5+ hours of tweaking the intensity and such.

it doesnt take hours to tweak, if you have the same model as they do, chances are the same settings will give you similar khash +/- 10-20 khash, which is not much
