i never had gtx970 but i heard it has only 3.5g memory which is not enough for eth even zombie mode will not help. current eth dag is more 4g.
Try beam and etc, if it is low then zhash only coin left for that card right moment.

The gtx970 got some speed but the let down will be it's memory which is 4gb I believe so the best option here is to mine profitable coins that still allows 4gb memory, for example you will make good gains from conflux (octopus algorithm) and also bitube (cuckaroo29b), spend your time on these two algorithm instead

when I tried octopus with TRex using nice hash it gave me "error during benchmark" currently I'm mining ZHash with gminer using nice hash and I'm getting 0.00001 btc a day it's at 26sol/s such a bummer considering my gpu is almost as powerful as an rx 570 4gb
I'm not surprised you getting error, Nicehash sucks in some areas pal, it's better to download separate octopus algorithm miner and find a pool that you can mine conflux on, there is no limit in trying, the result might be satisfying

just checked for you. Best algo for you is etc. looks like it gives 17.5mhs on eth based algorithms. 17.5mhs on etc right now giving 0.74$. nicehash does not support etc you will need wallet and and pool for etc. with 28 sols on zhash you are making 0.70$. so there is no point to switch.

How about conflux? I'm not sure if gtx970 will be good on octopus algorithm, that coin is very profitable and almost near the profits you would get when mining Ethereum, way better than ETC, Zhash and ravencoin

what i have seen cards with RT cores makes good on octopus algo. RTX series makes good on octopus

Don't bother buying the RTX3060 because Nvidia have locked it's mining potential, it's a waste of money buying that card for mining, better buy RTX3060Ti, RTX3070, or higher, you can also consider AMD RX5700XT this card rocks, high hashrate at low power consumption

Not just the RTX cards, even the gtx1660 super and Ti are very good for octopus algorithm right now, a day ago octopus algorithm is more profitable than ethereum algorithm, I think octopus algorithm is going to be the next ethereum in terms of mining profitability
