well ATI for mining and Nvidia for gaming ...
^ and I was never able to get it to work when I tried in windows but no worries now
Topic: Can I mix nVidea and Radeon on same m/board? (Read 4569 times)
Short of not having funds to buy a similar brand, why would you want too?
You can.. I have done it for 2 years .
I've used a 5970 and gtx 570 in same mobo and got mining the 5970 but only one core got utilized I believe
yep. i have without issue in windows 7 for over 6 months now. ati card already paid for itself.
You might have to switch your monitor plug for different maintenance tasks but you shouldn't have a problem.
I ran two 5970 and one 680 (in slot #7 of all places) as my primary for gaming and that's worked out mostly fine. Just had to move the display dongle for setting AB profiles then switch back.

Yes, you can.
Previous drivers didn't like to play nicely together, to where you couldn't have both on the same Windows installation. Now-a-days you can, and I know of several people on the forum here who do just that.

no I don't think you can - things get confused [well in windows anyway]
I use a NVidea 260 for gaming, but want to do some mining too.
I have a spare graphics slot (used to run 2 x 260 in SLI).
Could I install a Radeon HD 6970 and use that for mining in the same machine?
