Title: Adding 4th Card issues [resolved with Ubuntu 11.04 instead of win 7] Post by: ataranlen on June 12, 2011, 04:49:04 PM I am trying to add a 4th card to my mining rigs, but I keep running into some kind of driver issue.
And before you say search: "No results found" I'm using 6950's, and everything works great. As soon as I boot into windows after adding the 4th card, it looks ok, but OpenCL is not working. GPU-z crashes, Guiminer Crashes, MSI Afterburner crashes with a message about "failed to connect with driver wrapper" whatever that means.

See if you encounter the same problem.

Edit: Alright, I tried the updated guide for 11.04, worked like a charm!

Is there another program out that allows over/under clocking control and fan control?

How exactly do you run your miners on Ubuntu? just start them in a terminal by hand, or did you write or found an easy to understand script for that purpose? |
