It depends on your definition of "make money." You can turn pretty much any higher end video card loose on Nicehash and make $1 a day in BTC. You'll never get rich from it, but you will turn a profit.
I have a 970 in my living room media box that casually makes $1/day on nicehash. I just keep it running all the time when I'm not watching movies or soft gaming on the big screen. Once a month I shift the funds off the account for it. When Bitcoin drops below 7 grand I turn it off since the price of electricity starts to get close to hazardous.
I have rigs with dedicated miners that do other fare, but for someone just looking to do it casually, literally anyone with a mid range GPU can make a little money off of it. Over the course of a year it really adds up.
