Is it possible to use non-top cards for mining?

Good day. I got the idea to build a small farm for a start, judging by the calculator on the Nikesh website - you can even get $ 30-40 per month on an old AMD R7 370.
Is it really possible to make that kind of money? How long will this profitability last?
Thanks in advance

It's too late to mine, it's cheaper to buy currency.
What currency are you suddenly going to mine on the face of bucks on this mammoth shit?

It's too late to mine on babos. Your case is speculative mining. That is, we are now deliberately mining an altcoin with a low base (Bytecoin, Litecoin, Dash, Siacoin) and do not sell. Let them cost for the time being 0.0 ... $ per coin, but in half a year they will jump by 100-1000%, then we sell and go for a new Cayenne.
Answer: it is impossible to earn. On average, difficulty grows by 5% per week, so you will mine 15-20% less per month. Plus, this card consumes energy, it is worth considering, because its efficiency is already small. You will only waste extra time.
Let's say a new one now costs 8,000 rubles. You will sell it for 4000 rubles. You will spend another xxx rubles on electricity, but as a result, right now you can buy coins for 8,000 and sell them in a month depending on the exchange rate, even if + 5-10% to the exchange rate - already 400-800 rubles of net profit. Without cooler noise, desktop lags and unnecessary nerves. Take a look yourself.

It will be extremely difficult to earn money, plus constant jumps in an unknown direction will complicate the work.

It is possible, but the return will be worse. Profitability depends on the exchange rate and the chosen coin.

Yes, electricity is paid, then no. It will be more profitable to buy cryptocurrency. Use a mining cost calculator like https://whattomine.com/coins/.
