Title: Mixing HD 7950 with R9 280x Post by: coldbreeze16 on January 30, 2014, 11:46:43 AM I'm going to buy 2 R9 280x to add to my line up of HD 7950 for mining. What AMD drivers would be most appropriate?
Also I'm thinking about switching from Win 7 on a hard disk to either Xubuntu or SMOS 1.2. Are there any overclocking utilities for linux since the command line parameters for set vddc don't work?

Someone said he could run 7 cards on Win 8.1 with standard drivers.
You can install Windows 7 on a 32GB USB pen http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/win7onusb I have a system mining that way Title: Re: Mixing HD 7950 with R9 280x Post by: atp1916 on January 30, 2014, 12:59:46 PM You will need SGMiner 4.0.0.
CGMiner doesn't like mixing different -g 1 and -g 2 (gpu thread) cards in the same config.

CGMiner doesn't like mixing different -g 1 and -g 2 (gpu thread) cards in the same config. That's what I was looking for. Thanks. I'll be running two 7950 and two R9280x on one system with xubuntu 12.04. Can't I run two instances of cgminer one handling 7950s and one with R9's?

SGMiner is pure awesome. I'd give it a shot. |
