NVIDIA Quadro Plex 7000

[TiTori]

Hi,

I bought a cheap PC with a graphic card NVIDIA Quadro Plex 7000, I know that it's not a really good card to mine, but I have it, so, why not trying to just mining some Altcoins.

I read some things on mining, but it might be cool if you can told me some information on how to minning, for all this X11, X13, scrypt, sha256, etc... I don't really understand, what is the better for me with my graphic card?

And there is a software in particular to use for mining with a desk PC?

Thank's in advance for your answers (no need details, just a simple resume with technical language be cool, if I don't understand something then I can search by my own).

Cordialy,
TiTori.

Bonjour,

Je suis tombé sur une très bonne occasion d'un PC contenant une carte graphique NVIDIA Quadro Plex 7000, je sais que c'est considéré comme une carte assez moyenne utilisée uniquement pour miner mais vu que je l'ai, je me dis autant tenter le coup avec des Altcoins.

J'ai lu pas mal de choses sur le minages mais ce serait vraiment bien si vous pouviez me donner quelques informations sur comment miner, pour tout ce qui est X11, X13, scrypt, sha256, etc... je ne comprend pas très bien, qu'est ce que je peux miner là dedans avec ma carte graphique?

Et y a t'il un software en particulier à utiliser pour miner avec un PC de bureau?

Merci d'avance pour vos réponses (pas besoins qu'elles soient détaillées, un simple résumé avec le langage technique suffira amplement, au pire si je ne comprends pas tout je me débrouillerais pour faire les recherches pour déchiffrer).

Cordialement,
TiTori.

You would want to mine something that you don't compete with asics such as x11... etc.

That being said do some ROI math.  Sadly with electricity day's of GPU being profitable are dead for most.

dont mine X11, its FPGA turf... gpu stands no chance with very poor ROI chances..... try looking into Cryptonote and cryptonight... the ROI is somewhat better in comparison.

Hello TiTori, if you plan to just run a program and forget it I'm afraid you're out of luck. It's a constantly moving landscape.
Anyway, if you want to try it out, maybe have a go with MyriadCoin or another multi-algo coin. This way at least you can try different things without making a gazillion wallets.

Unfortunately, the miners seems to have been taken away from 1995. They all spawn a black console window... I find it fairly invasive to workflow (if you plan to work on your computer). Moreover, mining consumes consistent amount of GPU so if you need it for your work your productivity will be impacted.

There's a new "fire and forget" miner for interactive users around but it's AMD only.

Thank you for all this tips, it was really instructive, wanna try this things
