First of all if you are mining for profit forget about it. CPU mining is not profitable with any CPU because basically electricity costs are going to be much higher than your profit. About gpu mining again, that GPU is very low end and I'm not even sure if just running your computer will be more expensive than what you will get. In short, if you just want to see how it will go without making some profit, you can mine Monero

Hey, thanks for the reply! I'm not expecting any profit with Monero or Ethereum, or I guess any altcoin really. I was just wanting to see (or speculate, rather) how long it would take to earn (ignoring costs here) around $5.00 or so. Just for fun, really.

Well I cannot really speculate what would hashrate be because you have well, not really popular mining hardware and no one is really posting info for that. Only option is to download miner see how much hashrate are you getting and put that into online calculator. You will see your earnings per hour/day/month...

Well, after using Minergate, for Cryptonight (Cryptonote?) my hashrate is significantly lower than what sub-par would be. I get around 100 h/s using all four of my CPU cores, and my GPU, for some reason, only gets about 45 h/s. I'm guessing it's because that it is Nvidea, which I've read is much slower than an AMD GPU.

Good coin for nvidia is zcash, well for newer cards, but you can still try. Also use claymore's miner instead of minergate. You will get some extra performance.

Cool. Thanks for the suggestions. Though it seems that Claymore's miner is meant for AMD GPU's. Would my card still work?
