Title: 5xxx and 6xxx Post by: IlbiStarz on June 22, 2011, 07:35:40 AM Hey guys,
So my main rig right now has a 6990 and 6870 right now. I'm planning to use cablesaurus' adapters to put in 3 more 5830's. My question is will the 5xxx series and the 6xxx series work together? Right now im using Windows 7. I remember a month ago I tried to put a 6990 and 5850 together, but it wouldn't work (I don't remember why though). Would say...switching to Linux help? Thanks!

But only 4 max for gaming. The 6990 being 2 gpus on one pcb, so you would be able to run 4 6990s in Windows.

No problems running 5 series and 6 series together? Title: Re: 5xxx and 6xxx Post by: hunter on June 22, 2011, 06:19:16 PM You'll likely have to use dummy plugs.

I'm doing it right now! For the record, you otherwise would not be able to use your original two together, other than for mining! 6990 would only work with a 69xx card for anything else!

Wait, so they do work together except a 6990? Are you using linux/windows? Which drivers are you using? Does afterburner work?
