So after 3.5 years I'm getting back into crypto.
I use to mine new alt coins with my 7970 (still in use), and I'm wondering if it's still possible to do so.
Last coin I mined I think was POT coin!
Reasearching now as I'm looking to upgrade GPU so could choose a good one for mining if it's still possible.
Any guides or pointers would be helpfull.
Also looking into asic miners...
Many thanks for reading
You could probably mine equihash coins (such as Zcash) or cryptonight coins (such as Monero and Electroneum) with your current card. Whether or not doing so is worth it is up to you and your power costs.
If you're planning on upgrading, I would look at the Vega 56/64 if you see them available at a decent price. Alternatively, the 1080ti is a good choice if you're set on only mining with only one card. Mid-range cards, such as the RX580/570/480/470 or GTX 1060 may offer better ROI times, but you would sacrifice rig "density" (hashrate, and thus revenue potential, per rig), which is an important consideration for a single-GPU system.
Of course, if you use this system for gaming or anything other than mining, then you have other considerations on top of those.
