So my 2020 ASUS TUF F15 (i5-10300H, 1660Ti 6GB, 16GB RAM) was just sitting around collecting dust after I upgraded to a TUF F16 with a 5060. Instead of letting it become an expensive paperweight, I figured "hey, let it earn its keep" and threw Salad on it.

13 chopping hours in, lifetime balance is a whopping $0.128. At this rate I'll be a millionaire sometime around the heat death of the universe.

Genuine questions for the veterans here:

• Is a mobile 1660Ti even worth bothering with, or am I basically just donating free electricity to the AI gods?
• Any settings/tricks that actually move the needle for older/lower VRAM cards, or is this hardware just too old to compete with the 4090 chads?
• Should I just retire this thing gracefully and let it live out its days as a Netflix machine instead?

Not expecting to quit my day job over this, just curious if it's worth keeping it chopping or if I should pull the plug (literally) on the experiment.
