Hey guys.

I'm trying to start mining again, I been away since 2013 and was mining FTC and LTC via cgMiner, BFGMiner and all that back in the day.

I have 2 AMD Radeon R9 200/HD 7900 Series GPU's and a AMD FX 6100 6-Core Processor.

What would be the most profitable for me to mine?
Also I don't really pay for the electricity.

I was leaning toward Ethereum but the difficulty seems to be close to obsolete and I've had a lot of trouble even setting it up.

Any help is appreciated  Smiley

Profitable is a relative term, the coin which is profitable today might not be anymore by tomorrow.
Anyway, ZCoin seems really good as of now to mine with GPU and obviously XMR for CPU.

With the ZCoin desktop wallet, do I need to wait for it to sync before I can start mining? And are there any other options for me to use as a wallet other than the desktop one?

Thanks man, kinda noobish shit but I just need a kick start.

No need to wait for sync to complete, just generate an address and start mining. Once you receive coins to your address, then you have to wait for it to completely sync to show available balance.

If you don't have the electricity issue, it's quite ideal for xmr mining.
Cryptonight algorithm tends to show better cost effectiveness on relatively old GPUs.

Most likely monero using Xmr stak AMD. If electricity cost is no issue, you can try Eth + dcr dual mining.

simply try nicehash benchmark to find the most suitable algo for your cards and then download actual miner for this algo.

Keep in mind that those cards are electricity beasts. The R9 Series and HD 7900 series both consume minimum 200 watt each so 2 cards of them would be 400 watt in an hour or 9.6 kwatt in a day only the cards plus the processor and all other parts you can go up to 600 watt in total system consumption 14.4 kwatt in a day or 432 kwatt in a month. If you are ready and don't care about energy consuming go ahead with Nicehash, let it do its own thing and let it mine for you. I would be very careful with such cards regarding the energy consumption.

What is the r 9 200/hd gpu?

I got 2 Sapphire HD 7970 GDDR5 3GB GPU's to answer your question.

But thanks for the help guys, I'm gunna try the nicehash benchmark. I'm also looking into something to do with my CPU. I'm thinking about switching from Zcoins as the profit margin is pretty much nonexistent only getting 150 kh/s on each card.
Hmph.
