It looks like if I put this card in or one like it my computer could be an ok miner. Is my thinking correct? My computer only supports pci express x16 cards.

My wife and I were looking at masters degrees in Germany and other parts of the world and I'm really interested in studying something that will be help me work with crypto currencies in one degree or another. Does anyone have any advise or recommendations?

Thank you everyone. I think I’m just going to try it for fun without the expectation of making any money.

I have an old gaming desktop that runs on a lot 750 watt power supply. Can this be turned into a decent miner?
