Title: Can a 7 series and 4 series card work together? Post by: wevie on March 25, 2013, 11:35:31 PM I've just been "hobby" mining for a day on a single 7770. Dug around in the closet and found my old 4850. Can I slap this in my MB and have them both working?

I've ran a mix of 5870/5970 & 6990s together without issues. Thought I read some issue with 5/6 series cards and 7 series cards together? Maybe I'm mistaken. (Not concerned about hash rate right now, honestly, just diddling around and learning) Title: Re: Can a 7 series and 4 series card work together?
