Title: Radeon 7870 Bottleneck. Post by: MZD on December 31, 2013, 05:38:12 PM I got five 7870s.
If I run my cards on a pci-e 1x slot is this going to degrade their hashing performance? Can I run two cards in one slot (pci-e 2 16x) if I get a riser card and some extension cables? Any caveats I'm not seeing here? Title: Re: Radeon 7870 Bottleneck. Post by: TheMiningHorst on January 01, 2014, 02:20:03 AM I got five 7870s.

Any caveats I'm not seeing here? 1, Running a card at 1x slot will not decrease hashing performance 2, It's technically impossible to use 2 cards in one slot regards Title: Re: Radeon 7870 Bottleneck.
