I have a GTX 960 2GB, and wouldn't mind some cash. I know mining bitcoin with it would maybe produce a few pennies a year, but someone told me there are other mining networks that aren't as inflated as Bitcoin. Also, I'm thinking about upgrading to a 1060 soon (for gaming) and use that for mining overnight/during school, if viable. Thanks.
You'll want to keep your eye on a cryptocurrency mining profitability website such as this:

Please note that much of the mining software for a lot of these coins contain malware, so be very, very careful before installing such things.

depends on the altcoin. They usually have some modification on cgminer or bfgminer that you need to download which allows you to mine that particular coin. – Jimmy Song Sep 12 '16 at 18:33
