Title: Mining on a 4870, is it possible?
Post by: K1lo on September 23, 2016, 11:47:46 AM
Not worried about profitability vs electricity cost, just wondering if this card can do anything at all. I tried a while back but none of the (then current) mining software would run  ???

You can run the old algroithms which do not use more than 1GB memory. You cannot run the Ethereum.
