Hello,

Is it possible to get a mining rig and install different GPU brands to mine? For example I want to buy a rig and then install AMD(550, radeon 6800xt) & Nvidia (2080, 3070, 3090). Would it be possible to have different GPU's hooked to a rig?

its doable but bit hassle to set up, even same type gpu the config will be different, you can use hw monitor to find right config, i meant stability and efficiency, and dont forget about heat and ambient temp.
overheated may bring crash to memory, yes you can use gpu watchdog to restart automatically, but in first ride i would suggest doing normal things to monitor your rigs.

Which MoBo do you guys recommend for multiple GPU mining?

This is not a problem, use different GPUs as you wish. The problem can be to configure it. If you use the same GPU - just 1-2 clicks, and your changes are applied. With different GPUs - you mostly use different miners and configure GPUs one by one. This is not a problem for one-time configure, but if you change coins - you are getting too much everyday work.

As far as I can tell only minerstat mining software don't allow mixture of graphics card in same motherboard, you have to use Nvidia cards per mobo and AMD cards per mobo but other mining softwares accepts mixture of cards

User above already said, and it's commom to have mixed rigs, I have 2 Nvidias and 2 AMDs in my main rig

I'll just share with you that it's easier to install and maintain a rig 24/7 with mixed cards (like you wrote, with 5 GPUs) using a OS like HiveOS or simplemining, they are Linux based and pretty easy to handle.
In my experience, it's more stable and easy than Windows, specially with more cards

Yes no problem. You can mix all cards if you want.
