GTX 260 Black Edition - Will it/Wont it?

[DarrenJC]

Any program (Win1064bit)
Any coin...

Will it mine anything?... PC is on 24/7 so I wanna run it into the ground before I go buy 2 GTX 1060 6GB's

Same PC is running MinerGate all the the time (Only use MinerGate cos of my out-dated hardware, going to NiceHash after upgrades)

Please help, its my last hope for the old card lool its had a good shift.

Try using Nicehash to get its benchmarks. However, don't expect much from this GPU, it used to be a decent one but it's old, too old for this job.
I had tested a friend's GTX 760 and its benchmarks were worse than my laptop's 950M. Older generation Nvidia GPUs are not quite efficient for mining.

Some people attempted to use 200 series Nvidia cards for Bitcoin and Litecoin back in the day, but it was never profitable enough to be mainstream. Those days when SHA256 and Scrypt dominated, even the higher-end Nvidia cards were basically garbage for mining (except for those with very low electricity rates).


I'm not sure if current CUDA miners for today's GPU coins like Zcash will function well with your card. I don't see any harm in trying, but if you run into any problems, just know that it's more than likely not going to be worth the trouble to set up.

NiceHash does not recognise it as a usable GPU... hold my beer while i cry

Too old I guess and it's not supported, you can't do much with this GPU anyway, either sell it and buy a new, updated one. If you opt for Nvidia, go for 10xx Series.

Definitely. Only play D3 with it really. Will aim for a 1050Ti or better

192 CUDA cores at less than 600 megahertz.

 I suspect the iGPU on my A10s would mine faster.

 It's not even an ENTRY LEVEL card by current standards.
