Title: windows vs linux Post by: magnito on June 22, 2011, 12:11:51 AM I noticed that my windows 7 box CPU works really hard when I run guiminer with poclbm, and my ubuntu is really quiet on CPU front, is it to be expected? Does anyone know why?

If yo replace the Crossfire connector with a dummy plug on the second video card the CPU load should generally drop, but sometimes even with a dummy it remains higher, so do try it if you are using Crossfire.
