Title: gaming on a mining rig (1x USB risers)
Post by: klondike_bar on March 01, 2014, 11:13:49 PM
the answer is probably the obvious: 1x is not enough   - I just want some opinions or insight from others

My rig is 4x R9 270X cards, and they mine doge at roughly 450,470,480,475 khash.   I tried playing a video game for fun, and it loaded up fine in 1080p but when approaching too many objects glitches/triangles/shards began appearing on the screen, generally between moving/highly-shaded objects or characters.

Is this because I am trying to push too much over 1x, or is it another issue? I would like to be able to use my rig for playing games on the side.

Assuming its the 1x risers, would mounting my GPU0 to the 16X slot or using a 16-16 riser work? and will i gain/lose any benefits of the quad-card setup (no crosslinks are attached)
