You could try GPU mining, I suppose your GPU could mine ethash.

Check whattomine.com for more details.

Right, You can't mine Bitcoin without ASICs these days, so this would belong in the Altcoins section, which encompass any coin that is not "Bitcoin".

And to answer your main question, Curacao GPUs do decent on XMR monero cryptonight, but dont expect wonders from one gpu, especially that one.

How many PCIe slots does the motherboard have?
If it has more than one, you might want to look into obtaining another card (and PSU+riser, if necessary). Using an old r9 270 to cover the power costs of that entire rig probably isn't going to leave you with much profit.
