Currently, if you can figure out how to use linux, Ethereum.
Ethereum can be profitable with a 750Ti, which is a 2014 card, with an up to date card like a GTX 980 it's pure profit.
AMD cards are also supported amazingly by the Ethereum community, an R9 380 is pretty speeding mining. The only problem is the fact that you NEED to use a Linux OS to mine.

This is because 750ti uses the maxwell architecture even the new 950ti is just a small change and requires a power connector for a 15% boost, the other 700 series weren't maxwell.

Any aws profitable mining coin? / most profitable coin, even tough it gives losses.

well, I guess that any coin can be cited, they might be profitable but will give you a loss

Are you talking about the AWS GPU g2.2xlarge/g2.8xlarge ?

Those are pretty expensive. Anyone have any examples of what coin they use, I wasn't even able to get any software to recognize the cards myself on Linux, but I didn't try very hard either. Tongue

actually the big guns works rather on windows, problems occurs when you use smaller cards (or old gen cards) like the 750ti where the whole memory can't be allocated correctly, for these cards, yes linux is preferable.

However, a gtx980 works ok even with windows 8.1 (same applies to my 290x for example)
