There is just no chance due to your cards being nVidia, Im sorry but its a fact nowadays.
Back in the day you could've broke even, Nowadays you'll break your cards, At a cost too.

If you havent seen it: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
Your looking at about a total of 110mh/sec, for both cards combined
Where a little dinky card like this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129187 Gets 60mh/sec

Yes, I am a noob, and haven't started mining yet. I am trying to find out if mining on my dual EVGA GTX 460 rig would make a profit. I have found forums about it but they are all from like 2011 and I know that something changed with difficulty or something last month, so it is impossible to find up to date information on my cards. I also know that depending on the pool I join my return could vary.

In Baltimore I think I pay like 8.98 cents per K/hr. And I am pretty sure each of my cards would make like 60-70 mHash/sec

I don't need to know exactly how much I could make, but does anyone know if it would be worth my time to bitcoin mine for profit? Or is there just no chance because of difficulty and my cards being Nvidia?

thanks
