My 2x5970 costs about $170 USD per month in electricity.

wow. if my math is right, you're paying $0.402/KWhr, about 4.5x my rate.

i need help

is it possible for me to gpu mine with my nvidia geforce 7100 card??

{very bad idea; you're going to lose money}

I disagree with this, I bought a 5870 and started mining with it on March 1st, I've already made up half of the cost of the card. Difficulty is going down soon so it's a pretty clear path to a free HD5870 for me Cheesy

Are you taking off the cost of electricity?

at that rate, unless his electricity is really expensive, it shouldn't be that relevant. an 5870 draws about 190W, so at 24x7 operation for those 19 days, that comes to about $9 worth of electricity at the rate i would pay if i paid for my electricity directly.

It's a bit more expensive than that for me, coming to around $20 per month. But yes, that's including the cost of electricity.

And it will go back up when more people start mining again. Tongue

No, only cards that support CUDA/OpenCL will work, at minimum an 8xxx card. (Keep in mind NVIDIA cards mine much slower than ATI cards so if you're going to buy a card specificaly for mining {very bad idea; you're going to lose money} then you would buy an ATI card.)
