By taking a look at all the current AMD cards comparison:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units
I was wondering if GFLOPS would be the best way to compare the raw power those cards would have for Litecoin mining. In that case is single or double precision more important for the current mining software?
Also I'm aware that power consumption is another key factor.
Edit:
No answers so far... A friend of mine who has been mining for a while thinks the number of shaders is the most important one. Still in the comparison chart above there are more specs that could be important I guess:
- Pixel pipelines
- Vertex shaders
- Texture mapping units
- Render output units
Still I think that they should all be reflected into the Processing Power GFLOPs, either single or double precision.
