Topic: Anything still worth mining on some Radeon 370s? (Read 427 times)
Thanks guys, I was guessing Zcash was probably the best option and you seem to agree.
R7 370 is a HD 7870 with MUCH faster ram - that 190 sol/s figure for ZEC looks very reasonable, as I was seeing 160-170 on my HD 7870 cards despite the MUCH slower ram on them.
They'll work for any alt-coin EXCEPT ETH and some of its derivatives like ETC (dag file issue, though some of the offshoots MIGHT still be under 2GB) as long as an AMD-based miner exists for the coin/algo.

I have a few from mining ETH nearly 2 years ago but that doesn't seem worth it on these cards now and one of them only has 2GB memory. Any altcoins still profitable to mine on a few 370s?
Short-term profitability depends on your power costs, although you could always hold out for cryptos going up in the long run. As adaseb mentioned, Zcash is worth looking into. I have a few 7000 series cards mining it, and it is profitable with my electricity cost of about $0.08/kWh (on average).
If it supplements the heating bill use them, any coin can increase in value, and if they don't it's not
a total loss. I will mine even if the power/profit ratio is not profitable in the wintertime.

ZEC -> 190H/S
