Title: More Newb Help
Post by: junglist52 on March 24, 2012, 11:35:14 PM
Hi I currently have a PC that I built with a 2600k and a GTX 570. Since NVIDIA sucks balls for mining I was wondering if it would be possible to put an AMD card in there too? I would be running the display off and gaming off the GTX 570 and mining with the AMD. Can you do that?

As I understand it, you shouldn't mix cards from those two vendors.  Always causes driver trouble and such IIRC.

I've seen some people say you can but if I remember correctly it requires a custom bios or something, not really worth the hassle in my opinion.

Nice build.  You definitely shouldn't mix cards.

You could humid another rig with just AMD cards?
