Title: R9 270X-Anything Worth Mining?
Post by: johnncena on December 15, 2017, 05:22:27 PM
Yo!

So I had some older 270X hawk cards and a 7970 which I was using for nicehash because they were cheap to aquire (60-100 bucks each) and made about a buck and a half a day. However, nicehash is currently dead. I need something to do with these cards. They are pretty good at monero, but don't seem to be doing much now that difficulty has skyrocketed along with price.

Bottom line is, I really want to accumulate coin. Not as worried about current money making, just about getting coin so I can have more stake in a currency if it were to moon. Getting .00 something of a currency other than bitcoin just isn't that compelling to me.

Anything good for older AMD cards? My 270Xs are the 2GB version but overclock well. Getting about 520 H/S on monero. I have my Nvidia GPUs mining Zcoin, but AMD cards suck at it (literally slower than a core of a fast CPU).

Ideas?

520 hashes is really good for the gpu wow. You really know what you doing. Why not just stick to mining monero then?  I mined it for a time and made a good profit on it especially since the price went up when I sold.

I'd take 0.001 Bitcoin over 2,000 of some worthless shit coin.

Go on whattomine.com and put 1 where it says 280x. I know you have a 270x but it'll give you an idea of what to mine.

Mine one of cryptonight coins, or expanse since it only need 2GB memory

lyra2v2 coins are OK too with mkxminer
