Help please Title: Re: Few different cards in 1 pc Post by: redicarus on May 28, 2011, 07:37:08 AM Software generally isn't an issue, there are drivers, and you can use MSI afterburn on multiple cards. Do you have enough PCIe slots for the cards?
Title: Re: Few different cards in 1 pc Post by: Dhomochevsky on May 28, 2011, 07:56:38 AM It will work. Provided you have enough PCI-E slots. If you use Windows 7 you'll need dummy plugs (http://www.overclock.net/folding-home-guides-tutorials/384733-30-second-dummy-plug.html) in order to make the cards that don't have a monitor attached boot up. Other than that it should be smooth sailing and Afterburner should allow you to overclock your cards.

Title: Re: Few different cards in 1 pc Post by: SD57 on May 28, 2011, 06:41:17 PM ASUS Radeon HD 5850 overclocks pretty well with included Smart Doctor utility, pushed mine to 385 MHash/s. I use nVidia GTS 450 as the primary graphics adapter at the same time, a dummy plug works fine for the mining card (btw I didn't have resistors, so had to use just a piece of wire instead). In linux only hardware overclocking using a custom is possible (correct me, if I'm not right, I don't know gpu overclocking software for linux), so better take reference cars, or you may face problems flashing BIOS.
