You can mine Vanillacoin (blake-256)

the 6990 will do around 2.8GHASH.

Whoa! Pretty good.

So why is GPU mining all of a sudden profitable?

The last time my 6990 made this much was at like Jan 2014 mining Dogecoin.

No it is not profitable. Vanillacoin's algorithm isn't Blake-256 but WhirlpoolX. However, I have no idea of what would be your hashrate.

I was whirlpoolx, and it has shifted to blake256
But mining decred may be better....

GPU mining is profitable again, due to rise of BTC and huge rise of ethereum (which absorb most of amd hashrate power from GCN cards) I think : hashrate for other coins is lower due to the rush to eth mining, which leave space for small miners on others coins.

Yes possible why not radeon 6990 is good I think even Etherium

Did you try to mine Ethereum with Radeon 6990 or 6970 yourself or hear about it? I heard it does not work.

Just wondering if its possible to mine with this GPU. I tried and got an error after the DAG encoding.

Anyone have any similar 6970 6990 succcess?

I never saw anybody mine with 6900 series for Ethereeum. The memory size is only 2GB. You need at least 79xx series to mine.

Its 4GB in total. 2GB for each core.

Some R9 270X only have 2GB also.

You need 3GB in each card to mine Ethereum. You also need 64 bit operating system. In Windows, you need 4GB system memory.
