Forget about it. As already said, technically you can use your card to mine, but you are not going to make any profit. In fact, you will pay for electricity more than you will make mining. That said, you can mine for fun. What I mean by that, you can learn how to mine and then when you feel confident, you can buy a better card and start to mine for real. Although, to be clear, even with better cards, the profit will be relatively small.

You can also use such a weak graphics card (and processor) in distributed computing on the example of BOINC. So it will serve at least some useful scientific work.

Thanks for pointing that possibility out. I didn't know about BOINC, never heard before. By quickly looking at the website it is a nice oportunity to do something useful for the greater good. A question: can we know specifically what scientific project we are supporting? There are various science projects, it would be good to know where we are investing our hashpower.

Previously participated in @SETI project. Now I have a temporary and not the most successful configuration of Xeon X5570 and 550ti; they can only perform simple work. And BOINC is quite interesting, you feel part of something big and important. By the way now there are even some awards for it. Read about Gridcoin https://gridcoin.us/.
