Title: Mining with mixed GPUs (AMDs and Nvidia) with ethOS
Post by: lcruz007 on January 12, 2018, 04:01:00 AM
Hello,

I currently have a mining rig with 10 AMD RX 580 with ethOS and it's working like a charm. However, after trying adding an Nividia 1070, the Nvidia doesn't work. It gets detected by the OS but it just won't start mining at all.

I just want to understand, can I combine AMDs and Nvidias on one rig with ethOS? Does it work just out of the box? i have the latest OS version as of January 2017. What do you recommend?


Thanks in advance!

No it's not supported out of the box. Some people made it work, or kind of work, but you won't see your stats. Most people who do the same uses claymore.
Mixing GPUs are not really a problem and it should work, though it does entail a stability hit.

Alright, thanks for the info bud!

Hey lcruz007,
I have question whats ur hash rate with RX580 on EthOS?

How much of tweaking required with EthOS? Most people recommend W10 with AMD cards, so there are no evidence of EthOS/SMOS/Hive setups with AMD...

Im curious, is it plug and play or battle with drivers, bios mod and tweaking is still the case?

Thank you.

Has been supported with PiMP for sometime.  Ethminer, Claymore, xmr-stak, and some other miners will handle mixed gpu rigs.  You can also simply run multiple miner apps.  Would recommend simply using PiMP though.
