Title: Only 1 out of two video cards running on rig Post by: ayayay on January 11, 2014, 09:23:14 PM I've got a ASRock 990FX EXTREME3 AMD Quad CrossFireX nVidia Quad SLI SATA3 USB3 Motherboard--and only one slot is reading my 7950 will I need to replace or can this be fixed?
Title: Re: Only 1 out of two video cards running on rig Post by: Gator-hex on January 11, 2014, 09:30:02 PM Slot 0, usually the 16x one nearest the CPU, has to be populated first before you can add other cards.
Did you try a second card? Read the motherboard manual and see which it says is slot 0. Title: Re: Only 1 out of two video cards running on rig Post by: Easy2Mine on January 11, 2014, 09:38:43 PM What are you mining?

Title: Re: Only 1 out of two video cards running on rig Post by: Easy2Mine on January 11, 2014, 10:02:40 PM I have never mined Litecoin before, I trade it with BTC.
When I mined BTC with AMD GPU'S, Windows don't see more than 1 GPU, I have to use dummy plugs for a multi GPU setup. It took AMD more than 1.5 years to release drivers that are capable for Windows to see more than 1 GPU. If you know how to setup linux they work flawless with multi GPU setups. You already have installed the latest SDK from AMD? Read your motherboard manual and go into the BIOS. I think the problem is there. I had a similar problem with an Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 Title: Re: Only 1 out of two video cards running on rig Post by: Unacceptable on January 11, 2014, 11:07:13 PM I'm using a Gigbyte 990FXA-UD3 with a 7970 & 5870 for Litecoin,Running about 900khs ;D
You need to add a card,install vid driver,shut down,add a card,install vid driver,etc... I'm with Easy on checking your bios settings.Or you may in fact have a defective board ::) BTW,I found GUIminer Alpha is WAY easier to use for Litecoin mining 8) https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=7722.0 Use one instance per GPU & CPU ;) Here's for Nvidia: http://www.litecoinminingmadeeasy.com/cudaminer-windows-guide.php Good Luck!!! ;) |
