You could probably mine cryptocurrency faster by hand than with a TNT2. That's a GPU from 1999 - it's ancient at this point.

Anything older than the RX 480 isn't profitable. That GPU is a bit older than an RX 480.

Meh.

a 6gb gtx900 series with some good mem oc is going to be profiotable

I could use some help with this!
