Topic: HD7970 and GTX970 - page 2. (Read 290 times)
im buying coins these days because gpus are too expensive, every drop of alt coins i get few amount. i wanted buy rtx 3070ti and 3080ti for raven but calculated it looks buying coins more profitable because i will not mine so many ravens in 2 month. im not sure maybe i will loose but coin is coin will be in my wallet always.
I have an couple of HD7950 and they can pull like 25 MH/s at Ethereum Classic. Revenue is like $1 a day. Power draws like 150 W if you modify the BIOS. Profit $0,63.
If you have them you can use them, but don't go buy some in this market. You'll probably overpay for them (like all GPUs), but they will be the first ones that gets unprofitable.
About GTX 970 I don't have an experience. But I think they arn't any good at mining. Gaming wise they are still.

Assuming you have your way around free electricity and you are given a choice to choose between these two graphic cards only what will you choose? Between hd7970 and gtx970, years back hd7970 can deliver 22MH on ETH and 18MH on gtx970 but due to DAG file they can't anymore, what will you mine with them?
They are old cards and their glory was back in 2013-2016 where they were really relevant in mining,especially the HD7970 as probably the GTX 970 was produced a bit later.For now though if you want to mine,you can only mine coins which cannot give you a profit and those are coins in Ethash algorithm but that have a DAG size of less than 2 GB or just at a maximum of 2.5 GB for the HD7970 and up to 3.5 GB with the GTX 970.
However the GTX 970 I tried in ETC and it does not give a good number of MHSH so it is a total waste of time trying to make money mining with these cards.
The final answer if you have free electricity and if you want to mine and had to choose between these two I would go for the HD7970.
This is a complete waste of time 
that hd7970 will only give you 265$ per year and that is not worth using them for mining, it's better to sell them to PC gamers, atleast this GPU is capable of playing games of 2012-2019 and few new triple A games

Unfortunately these cards can't do anything again, I'd rather sell them for gamers that can't afford higher end graphic cards of today, I'm sure you will sell at good amount of money on eBay, if GPU mining is something you are looking to go into them use all the money to buy a better GPU like 3060ti or AMD 6600XT s
I would choose to sell it...
You wont get a better price as today.
If you want coins, buy them after or get a good card.
