Is GTX 950 enough to mine btc/eth/xmr etc?
I dont need big profit, my PC is on most of the times doing nothing so I thought I use it to mine some coins instead of doing nothing.
Can't those coins mining from your GPU.why?

1.Bitcoin network hash rate, atm is 20,445,149 TH/s.
2.Ethereum Network Hashrate 2.3 GB 223,750 GH/s and current Dag Size 2,3 GB

I tried to mine xmr once but it said my gpu needs to be 3 GB (GTX950 is 2GB).
because in the mining process, memory plays an important role in cache storage.

For some coins, maybe. However, due to the memory size on your card you will hit limitations. You should try out equihash (ewbf or bminer for the software). You may have better luck there.
