- Pros: Low price
- Cons: Because of the architecture of the graphics chip, the GPU loses performance with each epoch of the DAG file on Ethash algorithms (ETC). Without proper maintenance, it can get very hot. Performance is highly dependent on the memory manufacturer. Only 5 Gb of memory.
- Commentary: I don't recommend buying the card for mining. The old architecture doesn't handle mining very well anymore. On the Ethash algorithm (ETC, UBQ, EXP) it gives around 20 MH\s (depending on DAG file size) with settings Power limit 75%; Core Clock +100; Memory Clock +500, fan speed 60-70%. The argument “-mt 1” or “-straps 1” will help to squeeze out some more hashrate. The KawPow (RVN) algorithm gives about 11 MH\s with an overclock setting of Power limit 90%; Core Clock +120; Memory Clock +500, and fan speed 75-80%. On the Autolykos2 algorithm (ERGO) about 50 MH\s with overclocking settings of Power limit 80%; Core Clock +100; Memory Clock +500, Fan speed 60-70%.
