Title: What coins or algo can I use with this graphic specs
Post by: Saisher on March 05, 2020, 06:26:39 AM
Hi I am new in mining and would like to ask what kind of coins or algo can I use on this kind of specs, there are a lot of coins worth mining now that halving is coming and would like to explore.

Unfortunately you can't mine anything with those GPUs. Basically the Radeon R7 is the built-in GPU found on your A10-7860K CPU. And the Geforce GPU you got is very low performance.

Did a quick google search and found this,
https://www.betterhash.net/AMD-A10-7860K-Radeon-R7-mining-profitability-19088475.html

Basically you will make less than $1 a month, this is assuming you don't pay for power.

My advice, buy some second hand RX 470/570 8GB gpus and mine ETH.

IGPUs are not supported by most miners and would be a waste of time
to implement and a waste of energy to use.

Altough possible to mine with a gt730 it's very limited in the algos it can mine.
It has only 512 MB mem so that excludes many algos, and it's compute version
3.5 which many newer miners don't suport in binary format. You'd be stuck
mining old algos, that probably have ASIC miners, with a small GPU. You'd make
virtually nothing even with free electricity.

I recommend newbies try CPU mining before spending any money on HW.
You can gain some experience to help you make a more informed decision
about HW.

Edit: I'm not referring to Betterhash, that looks sketchy. I mean real CPU mining.
with a proper CPU miner, like below.

The GPUs (R7 and GT730 ) won't do a shit so don't bother using them to mine, with A10 AMD CPU you can definitely mine Monero (XMR), now that XMR switched to RandomX CPUs have become better to mine monero
