Title: 6850 slowing down
Post by: simon66 on May 08, 2012, 05:10:30 AM
Hi,

So today I bought a 6850 Sapphire. I got another 5770 Sapphrise.

6850 = 201mh/s
5770 = 188mh/s

Both cards are not overclocked. Running both should get me ~390 mh/s but the thing is that when I run both, my mh/s drop. My 6850 drops to ~140 mh/s. I use that card as my primary, meaning that I got both my monitors connected to it.

Running it alone is fine, but running both makes it drop to around 140mh/s.

Any help?

Thank you!

Guiminer?
If yes, 100% for shure you forget to set "miner1??" to GPU0 and "miner2??" for GPU1.
Guiminer cannot set it automatically.

Which SDK are you using?
Which Catalyst drivers are you using?
Which Miner are you using?
Which OS/Version/bit are you using?

The 6850 can get 240-250 MH/s with 850-900 engine, 300 memory.
I don't know about the MH/s with 5770.

SDK = I'm not so sure
Catalyst = 12.4
Miner = GUIminer
OS = Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

and yes, I am setting my GPU1 to 1 worker and my GPU0 to another worker.

post a screenshots of the worker windows.
It it possible that the different Chipdesign of your GPUs ( Vliw4 and Vliw5 ) cause that prob?

@ check_status, a stock 5770 produce ~180-200mh/s.

GET RID OF 12.4 its crap should be the 1st reply... 12.3 works better and runs faster
