Quote As a major fabrication-less or fabless semiconductor company, ATI conducted research and development in-house and outsourced the manufacturing and assembly of its products. they dont make their cardsthey just put the sticker on them Title: Re: Mining Rig Doesn't Like Sapphire Cards...

dont see a asus/xfx marking on it - assumed it was a reference card made for ATI and not mass production and you said you had 2 of these.. Title: Re: Mining Rig Doesn't Like Sapphire Cards...

Nvidia SLI chipset motherboard? Title: Re: Mining Rig Doesn't Like Sapphire Cards... Any Ideas? Post by: ssateneth on January 28, 2012, 11:52:00 PM probably a power issue. make sure your psu is up to par, and if you're using an excessive amount of gpus in 1 motherboard, consider using riser cables with powered molex
