I added the page. So the Hash rate of bitcoins is different than litecoins? Thanks for your answer!

Yeah, your link is for Bitcoin mining, refer to this page for Litecoin mining: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

Actually didn't know what hash per second was. I thought it was a standard value like Mhz but it more like complete calculations per second. Thanks for your help!

<p>I want to give mining a try with the current video card i have. I know its not good for mining but its a start. I use cgminer and link it with WeMineLTC. For some reason I only get 52 KHash/s. I saw my GPU is at 100% and it isn't overclocked. What should be the reason I only get this low hash per second? I saw on <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison" rel="nofollow">this</a> page it should be around 112 000 KHash/s.</p>

<p>This is my bat file</p>

<pre><code>cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://global.wemineltc.com:3335 -u workIt -p totallymypsw -I 13
