Too old I guess and it's not supported, you can't do much with this GPU anyway, either sell it and buy a new, updated one. If you opt for Nvidia, go for 10xx Series.

Try using Nicehash to get its benchmarks. However, don't expect much from this GPU, it used to be a decent one but it's old, too old for this job.
I had tested a friend's GTX 760 and its benchmarks were worse than my laptop's 950M. Older generation Nvidia GPUs are not quite efficient for mining.

ccminer 1.8.1 benchmark, 368.95 drivers

Groestl: 25.94

Neoscrypt: 662.61


LBRY seems to be the most profitable now, unless there are some other undiscovered coins that I don't know.

I suggest you always get a PSU with at least 20% more powers than the total power consumption of you motherboard + CPU + GPUs, even though you might be able to get the system running under 750w PSU, you still have chance to burn the PSU if any power peak happens for the GPU
so the best way is to get a 1000w PSU, you will be much less worried about limiting the power o each GPU

I thought about 1050's aswell as i already own a 1050 ti and was able to test it and i also liked the idea of less pcie 6/8 pin plugs as this is the common shortage of all PSUs.

Here is why i went for 2 1070s instead:
-1050 2GB wont mine Ethereum, 1050 ti (4GB) is just a pain to reach any payout limits on any pool and also nicehash miner doesn't seem to like it (benchmark crashes).
-My Zotac 1050 ti only gets 2.5 Sol/W on ZEC
-It draws 75W through the PCIe slot (mainboard). I believe thats the reason why it also is not SLI Capable...you can definitely NOT pull 3,4,5 or 6 * 75W through your mainboard, it will melt...i wouldnt put more than 1 1050 per mainboard.
-Over/Underclocking is very limited (70% - 100% TDP only)...though my card reaches +650mem easy

If you really want to do this, check specifications of how much power you can draw on all PCIe slots together (I didnt check) but im sure it wont support 300W.

Cheers

Hi,

I have a handful of 7870's and a 760TI, 2gb each, wired up to an old computer that's running Arch Linux atm. It's a bit of a shoddy setup, but I don't care about the power usage, I just want to see what I can mine with it.

Any suggestions for coin targets? Any chance of this system actually turning a respectable amount of coins out, given that I don't pay for power?

With today's rates and difficult to will probably be profitable in 176 days? Keep in mind that difficulty in 6 months will be much higher than today. I'd avoid the nicehash tax if you can.

So on top of low hash rate, you want to give big chunk to people at nicehash?

What you want minning?

I don't know  , I am glad that I helped, I started out the same as you, I tried CPU mining before jumping in and having quite a few boards running some with Nvidia cards and some with ATI. Nothing beats the feeling when you see your amount of the coin your are mining grow. You can try to mine from GTX 750 ti and from R7 ATI series if you find them cheap in your country, they are cheap everywhere now and they are good for beginners, if your PC is up 24/7 almost buy a 750 ti used for only 40-50 euro now and same price for R7 ATI, just a bit more 60-70 euro. Do not bother to by older generation cards as they will not be successful into mining.
