Two 7970s on one motherboard; one fine, the other hashing at exactly 1/8 speed
-
So you are saying if you have one card in it hashes at 1/8th the speed and if you have two then the first runs full speed and the other does 1/8th?
-
Sounds like you may have narrowed it down to an issue w/ the MB.

[/quote]That’s right - and it’s always this way round:
[code]GPU 0: | 670.7K/670.3Kh/s
GPU 1: | 84.21K/83.72Kh/s[/code][quote author=zythen link=topic=1208.msg9457#msg9457 date=1370383630]

[/quote]Yeah, it’s looking that way. I suppose this screenshot from GPU-Z isn’t looking too good, either, come to think of it.

You can see that the current is much higher in the second screenshot; I suppose now it’s just a case of finding a smoking gun (outside of just mining) before I can get ASUS to RMA the motherboard.

can you try erasing this -g 2.
btw, don’t forget to put this --failover-only, to enable failover-only.
like these
-o http://127.0.0.1:1111 -u 1 -p 1 --failover-only -o http://p2pool.org:9377 -u XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -p password -
How many monitors are running on the machine with this problem?

[/quote]That is a good question, could it perhaps be a card without a monitor or dummy plug?

[/quote]I removed “-g 2”, and this decreased the speed of GPU0 below the normal speed, but increased the speed of GPU1:

[/quote]I have been running this machine headless via RDP; perhaps now is the time for me to try some dummy plugs, in that case. I gather one per card is what is generally recommended. I will report back.

Time for a visit to radio shack. :) Have you tried plugging a spare monitor into that card for giggles?

Eeeep! RDP is nasty for mining. Grab tightVNC instead, should save the dummy plugs and you’ll get all the proper stats in cgMiner. -
im sure that is doing great
