I can see in whattomine.com, there showing 110% profit in 7 days.
what machine will be better for EthereumClassic(ETC) ?

The 110% just means that in a particular period it was 10% more profitable to mine than the preceding period compared to ETHEREUM. So its 10% more profitable but the profitability is still pretty bad.

Take a RX 470 4GB for example, it hashes at like 28MH/s using 130 Watts and makes $0.24 per day before electric, the 10% extra is only an extra $0.024. And if you got power higher than $0.08/kwh you are pretty much not making anything.

The ETH profitability will be 30% or so more profitable on January 1st when they delay the ice age and we get 13 second block times again.

+1

anyway i think we must give him "the real ROI calculation too
today the "old grapic card" like Rx 470, Rx480 verycheap but the problem is 80% of them is 2nd hand from miner and i can't say the ROI will come before the machine dead
