Can I mix these vga cards for mining rig?

[somvannda]

Hi All,

I am new to mining rig stuff, but I managed to have cheap VGA cards for mining rig.

I may have:

1. Zotac GTX750Ti for about ~240 H/s
2. MSI R7850 2GD5/OC for about ~395 H/s
3. MSI GTX 950 PE 2GB DDR5 - I am not sure about this one hash rate, if anyone knows, please confirm its hash rate.

And I planned to get more VGA cards on this rig so do you think this is possible to have them on the same rig?

Thanks

Yes you can do it.
If there is a mixture of GPU series/brands in the same RIG. Usually, one or two GPUs are detected or can be detected by all GPUs. If some GPUs are not detected, then try to install drivers one by one.

Sometimes when all GPUs are detected, while running mine, there is a GPU hashrate that is down or readable 0. If that happens, try selecting the latest or compatible driver mining until all GPUs have a normal hashrate.

Good luck.

Thanks for your quick reply. I have one more question regarding choosing a computer. I had two option below, which one do you think would support for those VGA Cards? They have at least 3 PCI-slots.
