Title: Ubuntu GUI lagging with 2 GPU installed. Runs okay with 1. Post by: CoM1ner on March 18, 2017, 12:06:23 AM I am a Windows guy and trying to make the switch to Ubuntu. On my desktop PC with high end specs, Ubuntu runs fine with only 1 RX470 plugged in with a riser.
When I plug in the second RX470 with a riser, the GUI of Ubuntu runs painfully slow. I have tried the AMDGPU-PRO drivers and the ones that come with Ubuntu clean install with no results. Does anyone know why running 2 GPU's on risers causes Ubuntu to lag while running only 1 GPU with a riser runs fine? Title: Re: Ubuntu GUI lagging with 2 GPU installed. Runs okay with 1.

What kind of motherboard it it? How much RAM do you have? How big is your swap disk? Does it have a CPU with onboard graphics? Have you disabled the onboard graphics in BIOS? Have you tried swapping the GPUs around? Have you tried the 2nd GPU in a different PCIE slot? |
