Title: [UBUNTU] AMD + NVIDA rig. Is possible?
Post by: centurionMiner on April 19, 2017, 05:05:55 PM
Hi all. I don't know if this is the right section for post this thread.

However i'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. My pc run 2 Gpu, 1 HD 5670 + 1 GTX 550Ti

I've setted the GTX on the first pci slot and cable it with the hdmi to the monitor.

Running lspci->

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Redwood XT [Radeon HD 5670/5690/5730]

I've installed the driver using the GUI software update http://imgur.com/a/dpyre

I'm installing CUDA by download the *.deb web package and using dpkg -i *.deb and sudo dpkg -i for installing CUDA.

Now, my question is:

Can i run AMD OpenCL + Nvidia CUDA ?

I want to mine with all 2 cards

I don't think so......

I never mix cards,I try always to have the same model card in one rig......

I Know  ;D
I've find the HD on My old pc. With Windows there aren't any problem (this card is awesome for over locking)
However I'm not able to using all 2 card. The dependencies of NVIDIA conflict with AMD. So Is possible to install OpenCL only and mine with 2 different brand GPU?

I've reported to Mod.

However the topic is in relation with bitcoin too. Because if you can mine bitcoin with AMD + nVidia in ubuntu you can mine altcoin also.

Technically you *can* mine BTC with a CPU/GPU but for the past few years the income will be near zero because any ASIC rig even from 2-3 years ago is far faster. In fact most BTC mining pools probably will treat it as dust and not even allow that primitive of a miner to run on them.
