Title: RX 470 and RX 570
Post by: a29654 on May 05, 2017, 12:52:40 AM
Can I have these two gpus in a single rig?

I'm looking to have 4 rx 570s and 2 rx 470s

yeah, but you will need newer drivers, which could be a potential problem.
in windows, new drivers check signature, which is a problem if you bios-mod your GPUs.
16.9.2 driver (that does not check sig) will not work on 570ies

in linux, same, you will need 17.something amdgpu-pro drivers, 16.40 drivers would not work on 570/580.

other than above, it should be fine.

Newer drivers in order for the rx 570s to work? Or to have both rx 470 and 570 in a single rig?

So I can't bio mod my 570s ?

Will it work if I don't mod bios?

His info is outdated. There is a workaround to run 16.9.2 drivers on RX 500 series floating around in this forum now (which works), allows BIOS mods, 470/570 together, and even >5GPUs

Ok, thanks.

I'll look for the information

Another question, can I have rx 480s with rx 570s?

very well may be as i don't check it frequently...but you might want to point to the info
EDIT: here it is...less relevant for me since i have 470 on Win/16.9.2 and 570 on Linux.
