Unless you're investing in hundreds of those "mining cards", it ain't worth it...

If your electricity bill is literally free, than maybe over the very long term, but don't expect to make a profit anytime soon.

I dont want to use them for mining i know that dead for the most part but i know you can buy card cheap right now used for that and want to pick some up if i can do pass threw with them or use them for another purpose beside that or even use it for computing or rendering power.

Depends on your workload, for gaming it is a bad idea (unless your streaming it onto another pc in your network), for computation it could be a great idea if the program supports GPU acceleration

just do some research on the program itself and whether it supports gpu acceleration, that'll be the confirmation
