I never had a mixed cards issue since I started. I even mined with amd and nvidia on the same rig. And with different miners on some cards, etc. All ok.
I guess it might have to do with drivers and OS, though.
I'm sure you've ran into scenarios where you have to run multiple miners instead of just one. Most basic compatibility issue.
I run multiple miners only when I need to: different algos, for example. Not 'cause of issues.
So the bug with Claymore and Genoil's miners for Eth where you couldn't mine in mixed systems never plagued you? You had to run two instances, one for each OCL and Cuda.
I never used claymore miners. I actually mined with fee miners very very little. And i mined ethereum very little, just a couple days.
Now that you make me think of it, I had to run multiple instances of a miner when I solo-mined SIA, at the beginning. But that was a limitation of the miner and had nothing to do with the cards or the system, and it was quickly fixed.
Yeah... that's why I mentioned miners. It's part of mining... You can definitely run both AMD and Nvidia cards in the same system, whether or not you can mine with them is kinda a big deal.
I bet you were in business before BTC was profitable to mine. Literally cost more power then you could get out of the coin until '13 and was a hobby for most people.
That aside, funny that so many of you are hopping ship from AMD. It's like you missed the memo about efficiency two years ago. Highly suspect eth-babies.
Why pick a side when you can run both, even on the same rig? Variety is the spice of life and it never hurts to diversify. I do agree though with your ETH-babies theory.
Mix/matching in the same rig can cause problems with miners, which I'm sure you'll eventually run into. You can mix match rigs though.
More of just tongue and cheek to all the AMD miners hating on Nvidia months ago.
You need that warranty I lost already 10 GTX 1080 AMP! and needed replacement because the fans are crappy. They fail after 2-3month.
I have already long RMA list at local distributor and ZOTAC is aware of the issue but don't change the fans.
Switched to ASUS STRIX and they are way cooler and better.
Guessing you had the two fan model?
I wrote AMP! not AMP! Extreme so yes it implied 2 Fan version. Also the Extreme with 3 Fans are failing hard as I heard form the distributor.The RMA Rates here in Austria at 60% on Zotac AMP! and AMP! Extreme. they stopped selling them
I don't know the model numbers off the top of my heads. There is another AMP! which is the cheap 3 fan model as well. I haven't had any failures with those yet, I guess I'll have to look out for that. The two fan models definitely had issues with excessive fan speeds due to shroud wrapping them too tightly.

Danke für this information. Was thinking about buying ZOTAC but now seems EVGA could be a better choice. Was looking on GTX 1060 Single Fan
Get ready for 5173s burning out on you. I have about a 50% failure rate right now. You really have no idea whether or not the thermal pad kits are installed unless you pop them open. Getting a thermal kit takes about a month as well. Thermal kits aren't guarenteed to stop them from burning up either and I'll need to wait and see on that one. Talked about this in SPs thread.
