Title: EFI vs UEFI GPU. Problem with EFI cards (very low hashrate)
Post by: Nippy-ua on March 05, 2017, 02:54:02 PM
Greetings!

OS Ubuntu 16.04
Driver 16.40 (16.50)
GPU AMD R9 290X, Gigabyte R9 380X

These cards have this output in dmesg:

Code:
efi: EFI v2.31 by American Megatrends
ACPI: UEFI 0x00000000DE7CE718 000042 (v01 ALASKA A M I ​​01072009 00000000)
fb0: EFI VGA frame buffer device
EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
fb: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA

The problem is with the cards where framebuffer is EFI (not UEFI)
Question: Why does every miner will load the EFI card only by 5-10%? (hashrate VERY low)
(the UEFI cards are working good on this mobo)


Cards are 100% working good (tested on another mobo)!
Current MoBo is OK, checked with other cards (fb: switching to amdgpudrmfb from VESA VGA)
