256 MB is selling for 30 bucks, these are 512 MB, not bad..



No they're not...

Well, unless you grabbed the one 256MB card from the box for that pic and the rest are 512?

If it mines at all (which it probably won't) it won't push out enough hashrate to be worth the power or the time spent setting it up.
Mining on Nvidia requires 8xxx card or newer. a 5xxx card won't cut it by a long shot.

Ah man, there's me thinking I was gonna push up the difficulty a bit  Grin

Ebay it is!!

The whole case for a few bucks??!! LOL  Smiley


AGP?


well, you can ebay the whole thing for a few bucks.

A bit hyperbolic but yeah. What you've got there is a case of Nvidia Geforce fx5700LE AGP 8x 256MB graphics cards - or in layman's terms "a crappier video card than what comes stock with a Dell laptop."

If it mines at all (which it probably won't) it won't push out enough hashrate to be worth the power or the time spent setting it up. Oh and they ebay for $15-$30 each, though I'd imagine there's not a huge target market for old AGP 8x cards so it would probably take ages to sell them all off.

Sorry!

I'm afraid they are correct. Modern motherboards are rarely found with an AGP port, so your market will be people with an older PC looking for a crappy video card.

You might get $30 apiece on ebay, if you are very patient.

Short answer: No

Long answer: Those look like Nvidia 5700s, which are too old to mine on. Also, its an AGP card, and I don't know of any motherboard with more than 1 AGP port.

You're best bet would be to sell them on ebay, maybe 200 for the whole box?

It's not even on the radar: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#Nvidia
which means they're no good for mining.

I came across a case of graphic cards today, I think there are about 50 pcs.





First thing that came to mind was MINNING !

So is it possible to connect these all together and mine with them?

How many Mh would I get?  Tongue

Does anyone know what I would need, is it even possible?
