Title: r9 290 and 5870 in one machine
Post by: phaddie on December 14, 2013, 02:58:40 PM
Hello,

  I have an R9 290 in my machine currently doing ~810 Kh/s.  I have the opportunity to grab a hd 5870 for very cheap.  Will I be able to run them in the same machine mining at the same time?  My Power Supply can handle the extra load, I am just not sure about drivers and such.  From what I can see setting up cgminer is not that complicated for 2 cards.  I am just concerned about them both functioning in the system together.

Thoughts?

You should be ok running 2 different types of cards in your rig.
