Unfortunately, Nvidia cards are not efficient for mining.
Your AMD card is also pretty old and can't mine enough with the current difficulty, maybe 5 years ago.

GTX 960 is a fairly good miner, for NVidia-orientated coins especially lbry or lyra2rev2 based coins, or point it at Nicehash.

HD 4890 is too old, not much that's going to support it at ALL any more and the performance would be a sad joke for it's power usage.
Same on the GTX 550ti cards.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!

Nice hash would probably be the way to go, but unless your Electricity is fairly cheap i dont see you making much profit off them, you could always try your luck with some solo mining

GTX 960 is good for about a dollar a day on Nicehash most of the last couple weeks - not bad for that old of a midrange card and my pair are long since paid for....
