I am totally new in this forum. I am a gamer and I do not have time to play games on pc. I have read , browse the web and find that GPU mining is some how profitable. I want to give this a try. I have a gtx 970 and AMD 7950 GPU. What Coin I should Mine with these ?

And what is the best GPU for mining ETH and ZEC ? I do not actually think about electric bill. Please guide me

Is your question about adding more cards? Or which of your cards is best for what...

If you want to add more cards...AMD cards are hard to find and expensive...you will have to go Nvidia

and here is some advice  go to my newest thread and ask away.  and when you have nothing to do  read all four threads  to see how  much alt coin mining changed in 14 or 15 months

hint if power is free ZEC   will earn you more then 2 maybe 3 dollars a day with your 2 cards


as time goes on  there are some nice threads.  on linux os for mining

really good thread on linux miner  but your cards may be too old.
