Miners detecting only 1/2 GPU of 3...

[brunoshady]

Guys, interesting problem here.


I have one motherboard with 3 pci-e slots, 2 x16 and 1 x4 and 2 XFX 5850 and 1 Sappire 5850 Xtreme...


Mining with 1 GPU in the x4 slot works perfectly, mhash's stays same as mining with x16 slots...


But I'm having trouble to mining with the 3 GPUs at the same time.. poclbm and phoenix doesn't recognize 3 GPUs... (didn't try other miners, but I prefer one of these)...


I've installed a fresh install of ubuntu, and linuxcoin, and in the aticonfig --list-adapters I get 3 adapters, 3 hd series, but when I open the miners, only 2 (or sometimes 1) appers, and the CPU...


what could it be?

PSU can handle them btw

anyone?

catalyst/sdk versions?
dummy-plugs?

Might want to test

Code:

aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f

Code:

aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f

Its Linux, so, I guess, no dummy plugs required right?


Catalyst 11.5, .6, .7 with SDK 2.4

and the aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f was executed

Update your bios or read your mobo manual there might be a restriction concerning more than 2 gpus.

Can you run other aticonfig commands against all 3 cards? I.e.

Code:

aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt
aitconfig --adapter=all --odgc
etc...

I wrote my own detection script for smartcoin - you can download the smartcoin_devices.py from svn (http://code.google.com/p/smartcoin/source/browse/branches/beta1/smartcoin/smartcoin_devices.py),
.  It would be interesting if it sees all 3 cards, as it uses pyopencl directly if you wanted to download and run it.

I have personally seen CPU devices improperly identified as an opencl GPU device, so perhaps you're getting the same thing, just in reverse?
