Is it possible to mix a rig with amd and nvidia? I'm rather impressed by the speed/watt ratio of the nvidia. I may try one or two out soon. I just bought 12 480's to run with the biostars. But I have some pc's with a couple unused ports. If they are possible to mix I just may purchase a couple of these ti's. Do you or anyone have any exp with mixing and stability of the rig upon doing so. TIA
Edit. Also I'm noob when it comes to nvidia. Can these been ran at full speed thru a riser?
2nd edit. I see now you have it connected via riser. (Overlooked that first time thru your photos). I assume with them being below 512 bit data transfer i.e. r9390x it would work the same thru riser.

You can mix a rig, but the process I went through was annoying and you have to install both sets of drivers.
Thanks for the feedback. So no real tricks or hacks to make them work? Are there certain nvidia drivers that work best with mining software? I.e. 16.12.2 work best for Polaris cards on claymore. Anything like that with nvidia.

I got a lot info from this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.0
I use drivers 378.78
I hardly know anything in the world of nvidia
but I am getting 1850 h for zec and using 616 watts at the kill-a-watt meter. and I know that is my hot meter my other meter would read 580 or so.
This rig has amd drivers loaded I could see if I can add a rx 480 to it later in the week.
I would be curious to see If I can run eth with the rx 480 and zec with the nvidia's
I am using 1 riser for the 1080 zotac mini the two 1080 ti are in full slots.
Thanks for the info. Going to be looking forward to building up a rig with nvidia just for sh%#s and giggles
gonna have to work on getting the best price for the cards. Ive got a load of shirts to print over the next few days then ill have more time to look into it. Phil would you be interested in a few of those cases i have to put your rigs in for the summer? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1859550.0) I can imagine that room be getting rather hot when outside temps start getting up there. I dont want anything for them.. just cover ship cost.. Ill gut them to reduce weight leaving you with the parts i kept to build it. If you want the ras pi's you can have them as well. Ive got way to many of those darn things. The a1 weigh about 40-50 lbs a pc loaded. Im building my second one with the other biostar mobo i have. Should be completed today. temps got to 80 f yesterday and the one i built in that thread ran at 60 % fan top heat on card was 55c. Those that are in my milk crates ran upwards of 72c at 80% fan. Big difference!.. Let me know we can work something out. As always appreciate your info. Very valuable. Thanks againBR
okay just checked the cases.
I need to do a few things, before I say yes to two cases.
Please remind me near April 28th.
I should know what I am doing with the move of gear to the solar array.
No problem. I'll get them gutted in next couple days and give ya an idea what it will weigh so we can figure shipping. Don't worry about paying shipping ahead of time. I'll cover it till ya get them. I know your good for it.
