my friend has a 6950 2gb that he says produces artifacts after a couple min of use. So I have two questions (btw I mine LTC)

1- would this effect mining at all? or could I take this off his hands for cheap and just mine it into the ground?

2- I also have a 6950 2gb in my gaming desktop that I put to mine when I am not on my computer. Would it work to use my friend's as the SECOND card for cfx and plug my displays into my current card? Would I still see artifacts?

thanks

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Probably will be OK, depends on what part of the chip is fried.  I had an old 5870 that wouldn't even display a picture, it just displayed random gibberish.  It mined fine.

you shouldn't see artifacts if you are not plugged into that card.

plug it in 2nd card and see if it will mine Smiley
