Title: motherboard not enough bandwidth? Post by: tac12345 on October 26, 2012, 07:54:08 PM hello, first post !
i just bought 2 X ati 6770 for mining to replace my old 4850 but it seems that my bandwidth isn't enough. when i mine with only 1 gpu, i have +- 10 Mhash. when i mint with the 2nd card at the same time, the forst card will reduce it's performanfce, and the 2nd will be around 20 Mhash. overall they never mine at their full potential... any idea what could be the cause? i checked my bios, the only thing i could do is to force the 2nd pci-e to 4x (it disable 2 other pcie 1x), thanks in advance!

What you're describing sounds similar to 2 instances of mining software trying to use the same card. One instance of the software will use most of the card, the other instance using the rest, etc
