So i just started mining and learning a little. I have a Nividia GTX 760. I know it isnt much, but I just want to play around for a little before I spend any serious money on mining. Ibtried to set up to use my gpu in minergate but I got a message that the memory was too low. I did some googling, and read that you can increase dedicated memory by entering BIOS and altering it to make it higher. I wasn't able to get into BIOS by using F2,F5,F8, delete etc. How would I do that? Is there any other way without buying a new GPU at the moment? And if not, what would be other alternatives for me to do a little mining until I am ready to spend on a nice big fat rig? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
I have that card too.
You CAN use it to mine, BUT it is a very power hungry card (mine has 8+8 pin power),and it runs very hot, very loud, and will earn about 10-100 sats a day using Nicehash Legacy.
The power it consumes completely dwarfs any possible profit.

Best guess, would be to sell it, and buy a cheap 1030GT if all you want to do is "tryout" mining first. At least that way you can mine MOST of the current algos (only 2 GB card thou), and if you decide mining isnt for you, its an ok low end gaming card.

Good luck
