Oh right, my rig is gonna be 8 AMD cards, and 4 NVIDIA cards!  Shocked

Will that be a massive problem?

How do I manage my devices? Can't I do it all on one monitor and use dummy plugs whilst managing the overclocking?

which is why 12 card rigs can be stupid

there are a few ways  to do it


if you want to mine on nicehash

you can run multiple instances  and setup the nvidia to one coin and the amd to another coin

but in the end  both coins will be auto converted to btc.

I run  a cpu and an amd on nicehash doing cryptonight

I then run a second instance  for the 2 nvidia  cards for zec


on one I check the cpu and the amd

on the other  check the nvidia   but in the end they all become btc

Okay... my 4 NVIDIA cards haven't arrived yet, and I can still amend the order...

Should I order AMD ones then?

Also, would it be easier to run 8 of the AMD cards on CryptoNight, and then the other 4 running Ethash?

I'm guessing that it'll still be better than having a mix of both AMD and NVIDIA on one rig?
