Title: HELP: Mixing MSI 7950 with Sapphire 7950: Will it work? :) Post by: cointrest on December 03, 2013, 02:55:32 PM Hey all ;) I'm mining litecoins and got myself a MSI 7950. However, all the 7950s have pretty much ran out already and I can't find anymore MSI's. I'm thinking of getting a Sapphire Vapor-X 7950 to go along with the MSI. Will this work? Will mixing it have conflicts on cgminer? Is it ok if I also mix MSI with Sapphire and Asus? ??? Thanks so much for helping!! :D I'm using a CPU for mining. Have you seen any examples of rigs mixing it up on a CPU or have personally did it? All I see out there are GPUs of the same brand and series. Would appreciate any opinions! ;)

How do you configure cgminer and the settings for the mix-up? Do you know where I can find a brief guide on it? :)

Does anyone know how I can configure that on cgminer? Any brief guides? :)

They all got the same hashrate at the same settings, didn't specify anything individually per card.
I was however unable to get a 6950 mining together with 7 series GPUs. Just wouldn't do it. Title: Re: HELP: Mixing MSI 7950 with Sapphire 7950: Will it work? :) Post by: CoinBuzz on December 03, 2013, 08:39:39 PM You can.
CGMiner can get different settings for each of the cards, so there will be no problem. |
