Hi everyone - I'm a newbie and ive caught the mining bug. Apologies if any of my questions seem dated....
So I have a couple of amd radeon hd 5970 2gb cards. They've served me well, good in their day. Is it still feasible to mine with these currently. I'd only need to invest in a board and some risers as I have everything else needed to set up a rig. I'd be happy to let it sit there and plug away if it was able to make a profit. I'm not expecting them to mine half as well as the newer efficient cards, but I haven't currently the money to invest in the cards i'd like to have, I'm hoping these cards would help me get there...I thought they'd make good entry level cards for me to learn how to mine. What do you think?
Thanks in advance.
I'll get back to reading some more threads!

I guess you may give at try. Check monero or ETN or SUMO for the cryptonight algo.
Those old card should be do very okish for that coin, I think they will bring $20-40 per month.
So if you lucky enough to sell what have you mined on pump )
