Hi, I have following rig with:
•4 x Sapphire Radeon R9 290 graphics cards
•AMD Sempron(tm) 145 Processor 2.80 GHz
•Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard
•RipjawsX DDR3 16GB installed Memory
•WD 320GB Hard disk
•ThermalTake ToughpowerXT GOLD 80plus 1475W power supply
•Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit operating system.

I used to mine ETC using claymores miner but stopped due to costs and also no foreseeable potential of ETC price rocketing!!!
I was wondering if there is anything I can usefully still mine? I can take a loss so long as I see potential for the coin price growth.
I would like to mine GRIN  but not sure if the graphics card supports the level of power needed for this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Those cards are power hungry and that is a known fact.It should have no problem mining Grin but that coin is geared more for Nvidia cards which are excelling there.With the Rx290 the best thing to do is to mine the Cryptonight algorithms ,find which one gives you more reward and start mining it.
