Hi! I have a spare gtx 750 ti that is just lying around and would like to use it for bitcoin mining. The only problem is that my desktop only has enough room for my current gtx 1060. Is there a way that I could have an external adapter to run my 750 ti to mine using nicehash? And if I could, would there be any major performance loss because of the adapter?

What PCIE slots do you have left on your motherboard? You could just get a riser and plug it in that way. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

its not worth it at all right now but the performance should be fine if you use a USB adapter.

Bitcoint mining is by far not worth it anymore and Ethereum has benn dropping more and more and is probably not worth it either depending on your electricity prices. It is always mined cash - electricity bill - devalutaion of GPU/ other product used) = gains.

The problem is that I don't have any more pcie slots because I have a smaller motherboard.
