It looks like Monero for you.
Processormining is worthless in Eth but might hash a little in XMR.
Gpu is pretty weak for Eth but looks ok for Monero. gl.

Does nobody use CPU for ETH mining anymore?

My GPU is definitely more powerful in terms of hash rate than my CPU, so I'd prefer to use it instead of my CPU. Is a 750 Ti SSC really not powerful enough to mine ETH? It is only 1-2 years old....

Hey guys, I have a spare PC laying around ($0 hardware cost) so I'd like to start mining either ETH or XMR with it for fun and a small profit Smiley

It has an Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5 (3.1Ghz), 8GB DDR3 RAM, and an ASUS 750 Ti SSC (2GB). I know, not a top of the line machine but enough for some GPU mining....

Now, which altcoin will generate more monthly profit (in BTC/mBTC) do you guys think, ETH or XMR? Same machine, same electricity cost (0.08/kwh), etc.

Let me know what you think and thanks in advance!
