Newer drivers don't require a dummy plug,, I have not used dummy plugs in a long time..

Sorry for being off-topic but can I mine with a 5870 and a 5970 under the same computer?  Will GUIminer recognize my cards and utilize the GPU(s) from each card for mining?  I know I won't be able to set it as crossfire due to different models.

GUIminer should pick up both cards as long as they both support OpenGL
OpenCL?  Cheesy

Gui wouldn't recognize my 4870 without a dummy.

No, your computer is not idiot.

Just install it, probably reinstall the driver and guiminer will recognize both.

You'd need to have the cards in crossfire or the other card with a dummy plug or a monitor plugged in
Even on windows 7 and latest driver? As far as i know, no. Just install them, install drivers and done. Guiminer will recognize them.

I just wanted to make sure before I ordered another one. It would be the exact model that I currently have and  would go in the other PCIe slot. My power supply can handle it. One card will be used for display/mining and the other just for mining.

Would this confuse the computer (Win7, Guiminer)?

Would I need to adjust any settings?
