Well, if you have a GPU it should be better than a CPU in terms of how much hashing power it has. You can use a [Litecoin mining calculator](http://litecoinminingcalculator.com/) (that was just the first one that appeared on Google) and put in the hash rate, which you would get from the mining software when you try using it. That way you can figure out how much litecoins you can expect to receive.

<p>When I run cgminer for run it to mine ltc the parameter --scrypt, cgminer says that is not recognized option. So, cgminer does not work.</p>

<p>What miner can I use to mine litecoin with the scrypt hash function?</p>

`cgminer` does not support scrypt mining, this was removed a long time ago.
