I have one rig with amd and another with nivida and amd. As long as all drivers are installed and Windows goes through all the updates it will work just fine. Claymore miner for amd and ewfg I think is what it is works for nivida . You can have both miners running at the same Time.

This is generally a pain on Linux but easy on Windows. The only time this is true 🙂

EDIT: I meant GPUs from different manufacturers. Multiple from NVIDIA would be fine on either OS.

Hello everyone!

I have 6 gpus listed below:

- gtx 1050 2gb
- gtx 1060 6gb (on the way)
- gtx 1070 8gb
- 3 gtx 1080 8gb

What would be the best coin (or coins) to mine based on the following graphics card I have? I just need some insight. I’ve already a 7 slot motherboard that comes with it. I’m starting to get excited with this new project of building my own rig 🙂
