I have a GTX1080 and I use it normally. Now I want to buy a RX460 for casual mining in the same PC (ethereum probably). Can I configure the miner software to mine only with the second AMD GPU? Thanks.

Thanks for the info,
So that dummy plug had an hdmi plug... can it be either vga or hdmi? I'll be using the asrock h81 pro btc mobo
I'm guessing the plug goes in the mobo and not in the gpu display port?
Sorry for what is probably the most ridiculous question haha

You need to plug it in the card that's in the primary 16x VGA PCI-E slot for the AMD drivers to work. Most people setup the bios using the motherboard hdmi and then install the OS using the VGA hdmi.

Do I need to leave my screen plugged in all the time? Can I just unplug it once the rig is set up to mine
Then plug it back in when I need to check status?

The AMD drivers need a monitor plugged in the primary VGA to be able to read the cards temps and fans speed API. Most people use a monitor dummy plug and use team viewer to remote in.

They are out of stock. Should I buy the RX 580 8GB OC for 290eur? Also I should have no problems with a motherboard socket 775, right?

I currently have a 775 socket motherboard and cpu. Just looking for the GPU.
GTX 1070 are almost 500eur. My budget is around 300eur

Hi reids, thanks for doing this.
I want to start with 1 GPU at first and then probably upgrading. Should I get an Asus Dual Radeon RX 580 8GB OC for 290€ or an Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC 6GB for 314€
Also which of those would be better for a future coin?

GPU RX570 would be the best currently i think: http://mylifegadgets.com/RX570 but they are most likely out of stock. RX580 is good also http://mylifegadgets.com/RX580 for Nvidia i suggest GTX1070, should be giving best ratio currently: http://mylifegadgets.com/GTX1070
I suggest RX570 most time.

With the influx of new miners on the scene (including me!) it's seen this sub-forum filled with questions that even I've seen have been asked countless times before so god knows how the old timers feel!
So all questions about the planning/building of new rigs or any newbie questions you may have, just stick them in here and let's not clog up the mining forum with "is this ok for my first rig?" type questions.
