Anyone still mining with GPUs?

[sad_miner]

I've mined with a few ASICs before, which was nice and easy.  I find GPU mining a bit more difficult, for lack of coins and software.  For instance I can't modify an old Bitcoin release and use an old Bitcoin GPU miner to experiment with (or any coin that uses same proof of work).

GPUs should be quite flexible (still) if not profitable.  I'm fascinated with the subject and would like to learn a bit more, so after changing the proof of work in some version of Bitcoin, I could try and verify it with GPU mining software.

Maybe if there's a good keccak/something else GPU miner, I could rip out SHA256d and try that out.  Not sure what GPU mining software is flexible enough to handle a lot of algorithms though. Can anyone recommend a good GPU miner?

Thanks

if you have nvidia cards
i will suggest checking out ccminer
specifically alexis build
ccminer also supports majority of algos

If you find GPU mining difficult I can point you to my blog where I'm listing the best and easiest mining software to use- https://bitcoinminingsoftware2019.com. I personally use Kryptex, but CudoMiner is also great, and there are several other alternatives that you can test out.

Thanks!

I appreciate the responses, I'll give it a shot.

I have Nvidia cards but never tried this CCminer, is it have all algo's? I'm specially asking for the CryptoNight algorithms.

I would recommend you leave the GPU, because it's been quite a long time, and I think there are also many better developments from the GPU, it's just that it depends on the needs and money you have to get maximum mining results.

If you're having trouble mining with GPU, you'd better not start mining with it

Learn the basics!

I think this was not the right answer, for monero I'm using XMR-STAK-RX which is free and going great till now, what he needs to do is to search for best mining software on google there would be the better answers.

Are there any really lucrative GPU coins left? I guess not, right?

depending on the point of view, the main point is the cost of kw / h is low?

profitability has improved significantly in the last 30 days prices went up: ETC +146%, XZC +86%, ETH +37 %

As I always said, it depends how much you are paying for electricity, for me it's not worth anymore, I pay 0.20cents USD kw, but for a guy who pays 0.5c can be profitable

Yes the price might of went up by +146% but look at the difficulty,

In the last 30 days it went from 120T to 230T which is almost 100% gain. So the profitability only improved slightly, also keep in mind there are still miners which will make the switch.

The issue with ETC is the small miner reward, if ETH had a gain of 100% then the profitability would be much much better.

I've been mining with the same 120 gpu's for 3 years.  I pay 6 cents a KHW and its the only reason they are still running.  Things are improving slightly but not enough to buy more gear or upgrade.  I'd love to expand or upgrade but but can't justify it right now.

Much better if you want to find which miner is the best or good miner use awesomeminer to find better GPU miner.
Awesomeminer is a good tool for GPU you will see all listed miner from their tool and it is free to use for one rig.
Official thread is here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.0
You can also use their tool called benchmark under that tool where you can benchmark which miner and algo will make you more profit today.

This is a great second income. Congrats, its what mining was meant to be until everyone got wind of it and over-saturated the space.

If your elec costs are low and you have long-term perspective then try out GPU mining and check out CN coins such as RYO or any other.

I am still doing GPU mining. Now mining profitability has fallen dramatically, but I do not turn off my farms because they bring me a small income in the form of ETH. Although for me now, GPU mining is an interesting creative activity and not earnings.

List of models and their features:
    * AMD Radeon VII – high independent hashrate, increased power consumption;
    * AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 – high efficiency, low price in comparison with analogues;
    * AMD RX580-balanced features made this card one of the most popular;
    * AMD RX480-one of the advantages is the cost, low overclocking is attributed to the disadvantages.
There are also intermediate video card models, but their advantages do not cover the disadvantages. According to statistics, although with a small percentage, AMD products outperform GeForce analog cards in popularity.
One of the main advantages of "red" cards is called a higher overclocking potential, which is very important for mining. For AMD cards, the choice of additional utilities, programs, and firmware is extensive. A good help for a novice miner is a quick payback. AMD cards are cheaper than green cards. The rating of models is specified on special sites that are in the public domain.

Don't buy the Radeon VII, I had 12 had to RMA 8 of them.

I stopped mining few months ago, but will comback soon since i'll be having a free electricity for my farm. Small profit still a profit =D
