The build is already doing heavy virtualization, just the new 7950s would be mining, im interested in them consuming very little CPU.

Hello,

i7-4930k
64GB RAM
SabertoothX79
SSD 250 Samsung evo
GTX 660 3GB
Windows7

This build is already running 24/7 with 90%+ CPU usage and 60%+ GPU usage (not mining).
I want to add up to two 7950s to my build to mine some LTC since it is running 24/7 and it has some spare RAM and CPU (not much). Is it possible?

Cgminer should use almost no CPU and very little RAM.
It should be possible to mix ATI and NVIDIA cards, but im not sure how it will turn out when both are working heavy on different tasks, if it will hurt the overall performance or bring a lot of instability thus not being worthed, etc.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Hello,
Had to build a virtualization pc and decided to buy 3 amd 7950 instead of one since they were on sale and put them on a 3 way Crossfire or something.
I only need 1 of them for my virtualization things, can i use the other 2 in the same PC mining coins without damaging PC performance?
My CPU and RAM will be working close to 100% with virtualization, i know the GPUs will be useless while mining, but CPU and RAM should remain almost unused by the mining program right?
Anyone has info/links about this?

Regards.
