1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Getting older GPUs to mine on: April 20, 2021, 06:15:17 AM
Hi all,

hew here!

Now I know this isnt going to be profitable but wanted to try as a proof of concept. Have a geforce k710 and a Quadro k4200. neither of which are porwerhouses.  My rtx 3070  is fine and uses nicehash effectively and easdily

I was going to put another card in my build as its got all the connections, pins and a strong enough PSU for another.
When I put the older cards in I just get an error when attempting to benchamrk prior to mining. Although when I put the 710 into my main build the CPU started mining which wasn't producing much. Not seen that happen before. Would be good to get both working full blast although might get toasty.

Tried the  cards on another machine so assuming its a  shortcoming in the cards. K710 was only £40 odd of amazon so thought I would try and its been re-released.  Quadro the same and its a 4gb card (whether that matters), so can send ti back.

Did I read somwehere about CUDA 3 being a requirement? If that's the case could someone please explain it to me?
GPu shortage is a pain. Would like to set my new rig with 2 mining cards. If I want to play games I can always switch one off. The heating in the system is top notch, never gets overly hot.

Thanks and look forward to joining in
