Title: Mixing different radeon cards on one rig
Post by: EternalSlushie on June 01, 2021, 04:31:21 AM
Hello I was just wondering if it was possible to mix different AMD RADEON GPU on the same rig such as 2 rx570 , 2 5700xt , 1 5500xt and would I need each individual driver downloaded?

You need only one driver for the whole GPUs unless you are mixing Nvidia GPUs with AMD, in your own case it's just AMD graphic cards so just download a AMD driver and go into the AMD driver settings to on the Compute mode and start mining, 5700, 5500, 580, 570 etc will all work in a single motherboard

You can mine with multiple AMD card in one MOBO, since you aren't trying to use crossfire you can mix any GPU type for mining unless your mining software don't support that, the only mining software that doesn't support mixture of GPU is minerstat

ETH mining profit is still a bit better now so yes there is still demand for GPU until the whole crypto market collapse you won't be able to buy GPU at cheaper price, I'm waiting on this as well probably till 2022

Install the latest version of Hive OS or RaveOS and you won't need to download and install anything.
It is better that all video cards have more than 4 GB of memory in order to be able to mine Ethereum. If the video card has 4 GB of memory, then I make a separate farm so as not to mix these video cards with others.
