The best bitmining cards (in my opinion) are made by asics although they are poorly for Gaming and offer no graphical capabilities. They can also be rather expensive and due to the rapidly declining value of bitcoins lately I would not recommend buying them new.

Bit Mining on graphics cards is no longer profitable as the cost of the graphics cards and the power to run them long enough to produce results outweigh their potential return.

If you want to get into Bit Mining for profit at this point, consider a FPGA or ASIC based machine that is custom built for the purpose. As xroe has mentioned, these machines are very expensive.

Here is a link that gives a breakdown of the relative bit mining performance of ASICs FPGAs and graphics cards:

Not normally but if you do a cluster on miners then yes it might, although I don't think that's what you had in mind due to the high entry cost.
