also keep this in mind you need to choose hashing algorithms that's make your hardware consuming low power nist5 is one of them may be fresh too
you can mine joincoin(multi-algo mine nist5)its very profitable now


Power isn't too much of an issue (utilities included)!

My main issue is that a lot of new algos tend to crash my older cards (skein has been good but I'm always on the hunt)!

I currently have a decent amount of qubit hash with them (13mhash)...Is the any algorithm where you can get a bit more profit? qubit seems close to death at this point and with my free electricity I would like to try something potentially better (most of the newer algos cause these older cards to crash :/ )

Thanks!

You can mine digibyte. (skein)

the  HD 5970 is almost mining as good as a r9 290.

HD 5970   Skein   188 MH/s
R9 290   Skein   225 Mh/s


can you mine Ethereum with 5970?




I cannot but you may be able to?

Currently, these cards consume a lot of energy for the MHS capacity they can generate. I would only use them if I only had those.

You better try to sell them and upgrade you mining rig.

hello you can mine boolberry.
I have geforce 710m and now it makes 100 khash/sec and 6 boolberry day.
6 bbr worth 0.000299388 monthly i got 0.008 btc
but they aren't 710m Smiley
i think best profitable coin is this for you at the moment
