Re: High CPU usage with Sapphire R9 270X GPUs

Due to using extenders, all GPUs are at x1 PCIe speed. So they have equal bandwidth. Two GPUs running on my PC are on x16 lanes, no difference at all - 1-2% CPU usage per GPU, but slightly higher PPD. Just to remind, when only four GPUs are installed, all of them on x1 lanes and ratio is 2GPUs\1CPU ...

Re: High CPU usage with Sapphire R9 270X GPUs

What I'm speculating is that with the 6-GPU running you measured the %CPU when they first started and with the 4-GPU setup the measurement was slightly later after the initial startup was finished. - unfortunately, this is not the case. My findings refer after the initial startup process. Looking r...

Re: High CPU usage with Sapphire R9 270X GPUs

I'm going to assume that the task that's keeping the CPU busy is the FahCore - that's right, when all six GPUs are running simultaneously, each FahCore task takes about 15-25% CPU processing power and thus CPU load hits 100%, obvously all six FahCores combined need more processing power than CPU ca...
