Hello

Excuse my poor english... I'm just a poor french guy Grin

I've actually a personnal computer :
With this (old) motherboard : P8P67 REV 3.0
And with this (new) vidéo card : Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 Gaming OC

With Beta-Blockchain drivers and new vrom, my hashrate is about 140 kh/s

This moterboard seems to have a second slot for a second GPU.

So my question is, if i buy a second video card (the same one), will it work on my old motherboard ? Huh

Someting special to do or just install the new card in the slot ?

Thanks a lot for your help ?

Yes you can. P8P67 REV 3.0 isn't the worst one, you know? Do it and you could double your profit.

Of course, will work, your motherboard can load four VGA card at once. Use "riser" as a tool. You can see in google search riser is like what. I think in France many countries are selling it, or by shopping online bro

yes, you can do it.
the principle, if a motherboard has PCIex1 or PCIex16. of course, can plug a GPU. the difference, at a transfer speed between an old and new MB.

As long as those boards have a PCIe socket, you can use it. You are using RX series if you run on stock bios it's easier but if you modification your bios card, may you need to bypass a driver signature to make sure a system can read your cards.

I also use an old board on my first GPU rig. This is my first board and still used till now:

Dude if I were you I would think maybe mining coins that could be mined through CPU. For example Zoin looks highly promising and can be mined through CPU.

No problem for at least 3 GPU, more than that could be a challenge

Yes, you could install a second video card...

If you are running Windows, then there is not much more to do after that since you are using the Beta-Blockchain drivers...

Most mining software will see it and use once Windows has it functioning in the device manager.
