Topic: r9 290 and 5870 in one machine (Read 498 times)
You should be ok running 2 different types of cards in your rig.
Hello,
I have an R9 290 in my machine currently doing ~810 Kh/s. I have the opportunity to grab a hd 5870 for very cheap. Will I be able to run them in the same machine mining at the same time? My Power Supply can handle the extra load, I am just not sure about drivers and such. From what I can see setting up cgminer is not that complicated for 2 cards. I am just concerned about them both functioning in the system together.
Thoughts?
