Has anyone ever tried "Colorful" graphics cards, I've never heard of them before and was wondering if their performance is any good?

Prices seem pretty good - https://doodah.co.za/components/26416-colorful-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-graphic-card.html

Prices seem pretty good? Really? XD

use your calculator and your head and re-calculate it

I bought asic z 9 mini. one yields from 12 to 15 k / sol. that's about 4 payouts per day for 0.01 zec each. graphic cards will not give as much.

Mining ZCash on video cards is not profitable for several months. ASICs such as Antminer Z9 (40.8 Ksol/s) have 3 times better performance than the best graphics cards.

possible to mine whit an 7990radeon 6gb ??

Basically ever since ZEC was released in November of 2016, most Tahitis like your 7990 went and mined it. The Tahiti's due to the DAG thrashing bug were performing poorly with ETH so most of them did the switch to ZEC. Same with the Pitcairn GPUs like the R9 270X.

Now however most Tahiti's moved onto Cryptonight-V7 and are mining XMR. Since the XMR algo is not very intensive most do a max undervolt to like 0.95V and run at 950/1500 (core/memory) and hash at 500-600h/s (depending on memory type) and it only uses around 125 watts or so. Basically like an RX 470 mining ETH.

Not much profit these days but if you want to put them to work, you can try that algo. I think next month it forks again, so the first week or 2 might be even more profitable as the difficulties adjust.

this is excellent advice, for anyone still holding these older GPUs and has a decent electric rate only makes sense to run them into the ground (at least I think)

I don't see much of a market for cards older than rx470

270x buy it now $50

I have a few 7990, so I will mine the XMR V8.

Somebody still mine ZEC with GPU???
There is no any sense to do that, because Equihash is algorithm only for ASICs now...

Many of the people use the gtx for the zach mining, which is not bad at all.

Building a 6gbu rig is what I am planning to build and hoping it to be great.

with what GPUs and to mine what exactly?

The 3gb performance is below 300 if I am not wrong and i guess you are talking about 6gb.

This topic might as well be locked.

There are NO gpus to mine ZCASH with anymore unless they decide to fork to a different algo.

Every since the ZEC introduction, every hold of a Radeon 7970/280X switched to ZEC and mined at 300H/s. Good profits were made.

Ever since these ASICs started popping up from various manufacteurs, the only coin slightly profitable with the 280X is XMR. So it wasn't only Nvidia's GPUs that are suffering, its also the older AMDs which couldn't mine ETH due to the DAG Thrashing bug.

To build that up you will need molex and Sata as that will clearly help you.
