Title: Running a 7970 and 5850 in a Windows box Post by: Dr. K6 on April 08, 2013, 01:57:57 AM Hello all,
I'd put this in a more appropriate forum but I'm here in Newbieland ;D I have a Windows desktop with a 7970 and a 5850 in it that I'm trying to get both to mine. Full specs are: Windows 7 64-bit 13.3 beta Cats, whatever sdk comes with that 7970 5850 i5 2500K 8GB RAM Oodles of HDD space Anywho, I've been trying to get both to mine at the same time and the 5850 for some reason will not produce a valid nonce. I get a "invalid nonce - HW error" from CGminer and other miners (tried GUIminer, DiabloMiner, and Phoenix) will not produce any work. I've even tried mining bitcoins with one and litecoins with the other with no effect. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help/advice/suggestions, it's much appreciated.

You have to create a new miner for each card in GUIminer. I recommend cgminer, it takes a bit of command line or a config file but you'll pull higher hashes with it. I'm curious to know what kind of hashes you're getting with the 7970, I'm looking at buying one of those.
