Older GPU's for bitcoin/litecoin mining?

[Flashthepyro]

so i got a few older cards laying around here, for example, a ATI HD 5870, a AMD HD 6xxx, a GTX 460, all older cards that are too weak/don't got enough RAM to game on and are too power hungry/noisy beasts to put in a simple desktop pc. basically, 2007-2010 mid-high end GPU's.
next to that i have a simple AMD A8 APU with 4GB of ram inside of a basic build to run it on.

can i use these cards to bitcoin mine properly? before they are literately worthless? like, getting more value out of it then the power usage? does it make any worthy profit at all? or am i better off giving these away out of good will?

it was just an idea, as i said, these cards are in the useless area for anything above low settings on current-gen games but are still functioning fine.

Give them away. There is no value left in coin mining with top of the line GPUs never mind old ones.

I tried ASIC mining this year and they cost more in power usage to make a bitcoin than what it was worth, never mind the cost of the ASICs!

GPU mining hasn't been worth it for over two years now. ASIC mining (customized ARM processors) took over. For Bitcoin mining, it isn't even worth it to use ASICs unless you have very cheap power. I haven't tried Litecoin, though.

so it went downhill pretty fast then, 2-3 years back i heard people raging 24/7 about free money by throwing 6 random found GPU's on the cheapest multiPCI-E board with a pentium 4. too bad.
