Hello, I was wondering how many hashes per second, the AMD Radeon R7 240 4GB, Nvidia GeForce GT730 4 GB and NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX1060 produces on the following coins:
Ethereum
Zcash
Monero
|
|
|
|
|

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

LTC hasn't been profitable for GPU mining for years since scrypt minig was taken over by ASIC's. The R7 240 is only 2GB, so it won't work for ETH. The 1060 should get ~25 MH/s on ETH and ~300 H/s on ZEC. |

The computer I am looking to purchase has this as the title "Exper EXP-XC250 Xcellerator Gaming Intel Core I5-6402P-2.8Ghz Processor, 16Gb RAM, 1Tb Hdd, 4Gb GPU Windows 10 OS" In the features table, it says that the GPU has 4 GB |

There is a R7 290X card that has DDR5 memory and supposedly gets ~15 MH/s. ZEC would probably be a better option for that card. http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/comment/19394/#Comment_19394IMO, you would be better off going with a RX 560 or 1050 Ti cards, that get ~14 MH/s on ETH and are much more power efficient. |

R7 290? Where you found such a card? And why respond about it when original poster asked for r7 240? |

Yes, but you were talking about some mysterious r7 290 with DDR3? |

Your first 2 GPU options are garbage and not even worth trying. If you got the larger memory 1060 6GB you can try mining ETH with that one. You can also mine XMR with it. It uses very little power and you will make a little everyday. However if you want more money than try to get at least an GTX 1070 or 1080Ti. |

I agree on the fact that the first two GPUs mentioned are completely useless in mining (unless you have free electricity and a multi-GPU motherboard readily available). If the OP truly wants to try and start mining then he/she could use the 1060. However, the coin to be mined would vary depending on the size of the 1060's RAM. For 3GB cards you would be mining Equihash coins like Musiccoin. If the OP has a 6GB variant of the 1060 then he/she could mine Ethereum. Good luck! |
