HELP: Mixing MSI 7950 with Sapphire 7950: Will it work? :)

[cointrest]

Hey all  I'm mining litecoins and got myself a MSI 7950. However, all the 7950s have pretty much ran out already and I can't find anymore MSI's. I'm thinking of getting a Sapphire Vapor-X 7950 to go along with the MSI. Will this work? Will mixing it have conflicts on cgminer? Is it ok if I also mix MSI with Sapphire and Asus?   Thanks so much for helping!! I'm using a CPU for mining. Have you seen any examples of rigs mixing it up on a CPU or have personally did it? All I see out there are GPUs of the same brand and series. Would appreciate any opinions!

you shouldnt have any issues, I mix all sorts of older and newer GPUs on the same Mobo with no issues, the 7950 are still the same AMD chips, just different manufacturers putting them together.

Thanks for the response techstorm2! How do you configure cgminer and the settings for the mix-up? Do you know where I can find a brief guide on it?

I have seen a lot of guides on mixing 7950 and 7970 but never a guide about mixing up same series different brand. Does anyone know how I can configure that on cgminer? Any brief guides?

At one point I had 3 different 7970s in 1 board....didn't matter in the slightest. They all got the same hashrate at the same settings, didn't specify anything individually per card.

I was however unable to get a 6950 mining together with 7 series GPUs. Just wouldn't do it.

You can.

CGMiner can get different settings for each of the cards, so there will be no problem.
