Title: Mining with GPUs from several constructor ?
Post by: Brunogre on January 23, 2021, 10:54:14 AM
Hello fellas !

I may not use the right keywords but I can't find the information anywhere :
Is it a problem to use same GPUs but from several brands ? What if I build my own rig with :
- 3080 from EVGA
- 3080 from MSI
- 3080 from Zotac
- ...
Is it going to not work at all ? Or just being not optimal ? Or work perfectly ?

You can mix and match brands makes and models.  Depending on system you can even mix AMD / Nvidia.

There's no problem at all
User above already answered you, but I'll add here, because I have Mixed rig here, and used to have since 2017

You can mix all brands, models, AMD and Nvidia or even older generations of cards with latest GPUs, like RX 580 with 3080s
You can mine with separated miners, or together

You'll just need to tweak every card in a different way, and will work perfectly, without any issue due to different brands and models

Obs - intead of use several constructor, you can use different brands
