I am getting error message and this is my config file below: Can someone correct it for me please if I am doing anything wrong. Also here is the command prompt &config file screenshot: "http://tinypic.com/r/2echkw3/9" And also my dxdiag screenshot here "http://tinypic.com/r/2rr14ap/9" and my slushpool screenshot: "http://tinypic.com/r/ebanog/9"  I would really appreciate your help and guidance in advance.

GPU mining with cgminer. This is quite a throwback.

First, the obvious question: Are you sure you want to try to directly mine BTC with your 7800 series card?
Second, while you will find more active GPU miners in this subforum, this forum is really more for altcoin mining.

Undefined frankly speaking I dont know what can I mine with my card as I am a rookie and trying to start with mining which could make me little bit money so that I can then buy a good graphic card for mining. So if you can guide me what should I mine with the current configuration that I have and it would really be helpful and would really be grateful to u

It appears that you either have a 7850 or 7870 GPU. If your system is a prebuilt one, could you specify the brand and model?

With a 7850 or 7870, you could consider mining equihash coins (such as Zcash) or cryptonight coins (such as Monero and Electroneum). (Cgminer 3.7.2 does not support either of these.)

Depending on your power costs, it may or may not be profitable to mine with a single old graphics card. (Mining is definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme, regardless.) Do your own research here.

GPU-mining SHA256 coins (such as Bitcoin) or scrypt coins (such as Litecoin) hasn't been practical for years, since cost-effective ASICs are available for those algorithms.

It appears that you either have a 7850 or 7870 GPU. If your system is a prebuilt one, could you specify the brand and model?: I bought all the parts 5 years back and my technician came and assembled it

With a 7850 or 7870, you could consider mining equihash coins (such as Zcash) or cryptonight coins (such as Monero and Electroneum). (Cgminer 3.7.2 does not support either of these.): If cgminer wont work then which software would work to mine Monero or Electroneum. Monero would be the best

Depending on your power costs, it may or may not be profitable to mine with a single old graphics card. (Mining is definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme, regardless.) Do your own research here.. Will this card lasts for 2months atleast. If yes and if it gives me $4 a day then with that I can buy a good one
