Its possible and its a pain and why buy a R7 370 right now? And if the rig is not for gaming, you could consider it but i wouldnt mix AMD/NVidia in rigs.

My ETH miner supports mixed rigs since version 1.1.2. It works at least for 1+1 setups, haven't tested more complex mixes.

There's only one GOOD reason for mixing AMD and NVidia in a single rig.
DirectX 12.
There are other "niche" reasons sometimes to do so, but if you know about one of those niches you don't need the hand-holding.

the R7 370 is cheap + low power + 15mh/s = good deal eh ? and can i mine with 1 GPU and use the 2nd one for playing games? is that possible ?

And 370 4gb is not so cheap with that in mind. I mine and game at same time but considering i have stability issues with just AMD, NVIDIA + AMD would probably be worse.

If I were you I'd wait for the RX 480, it looks really promising at a low cost and I think a lot of miners will get it. You shouldn't have any problems with mixing AMD and nVidia cards.

The problem is not with ethereum mining where you can chose from few gr8 miners, but in future if you plan to mine others coins mixed setup will be a problem so far AMD had better support and speed, we gona see if that gona change, most ppl wait for 480, which I think will use a lot less power but will not be better then 390x in terms of speed

IME trying to mine and play games on the same machine leads to lots of laggyness, many crashes, and other issues.
Mining programs on windows tend to NOT be "well behaved" and hog all resources they CAN grab.
Mixing AMD and Nvidia right now is not generally a good idea - the drivers don't tend to play well together, though it CAN be done.

i'm also mining and gaming at the same time, but not with heavy game, only those that are light enough to be played when you mine etheruem, and use the ram that is not used for etheruem
no crash so far, everythign is pretty stable even at 55% tdp

nice, i dont want to play heavy games too, but do u know how i can game on 1 GPU and Mine on the other one ? i have extra gtx 560 that iam not using, and it runs CSGO 100+fps for me and thats what i basically play all the time
