Will an AMD 7950 pay for itself?
-
Hi all,
Thinking about starting some small scale mining, just wondering how quickly you would make back the cost of an AMD 7950…or is it worth just buying feathercoins with the ~$300?

Hey!
It depend on your powercost, if you’re mining for free I would suggest you to buy an AMD 7950 cause it will be pay itself back in 2 months.

You can do a rough calculation under tools in the top menu-> calculator.
of just click : [url=http://www.feathercoin.com/calc/]http://www.feathercoin.com/calc/[/url]
Based on your HW and power cost it give you an estimate about the time the HW is re-payed based on current difficulty

It depends on these 3 variables:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Mining difficulty (varies depending on how many people are mining).
[*]Value of the currency you are mining (this can go up or down).
[*]Energy cost (I pay about 10 cents a Kwh).
[/list]I’ve been mining with 4 GPU rigs like the one featured on [url=http://www.coinminingrigs.com]http://www.coinminingrigs.com[/url] since April and my rig (everything, not just the card) made ROI in about 5 months of mining. Now it warms my house (late fall here in the northern hemisphere), pays my electric bill generates about $300+ per month per rig on top. Not bad.
