Title: Weird Ubuntu Issue - Gpu at 50%?
Post by: bitcanada on May 13, 2011, 03:24:21 PM
Hi All,

I tried yesterday to setup a mining rig with 2 x 5850, using ubuntu 11.04, got this weird issue. when I use only 1 gpu, I get 100% utilization, but when I try to use 2, each only runs at 50%. crossfire is disabled and I'm using phoenix:

aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    725           1000
             Current Peak :    725           1000
  Configurable Peak Range : [550-900]     [900-1250]
                 GPU load :    49%

Any ideas?  ???

I've got the same problem. Did you solve it?
