Hello guys,
I own AM3+ GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2 AMD 760G with mini gtx 1060 6gb.
Can i put rx 570 sapphire nitro + in that motherboard to mine ETH,while my gtx 1060 is used for ZEC mining or gaming?

Mixing GPUS tend to be problematic. You may get them to play nice together but it may take hours and hours and hours and hours of your time.

Yes you can as long as there is no compatibility issues, You need the drivers for both brand, I suggest that you try the cards in PCI slots, one at time first and check if everything is working fine then start fiddling with both cards, once both cards are detected and functional you can start miners configuration part, you might find some compatibility issue, but start with simple software and move on. Are you on windows or linux distro ?
