Hi;
I added a 1250 Seasonic PSU and HD7970 to my crypto coin mining rig last night.

My existing card is a 5970.

When I have both cards sitting on my Rampage Extreme IV Mobo I get no video. I've tried with and without cross-fire. They work individually (if I fully remove the other card).

I've tried setting the 5970's lane to PCI 2 in the BIOS and tried different lanes with no success.

I know other people have had these two cards working together in their rigs so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Any advice?

Sorry, should've been more clear. I only tried crossfire as "something to try"

For mining cards don't have to be connected. In fact Crossfire is usually bad for mining software.

I don't get video at all, no POST codes. The fans on the GPU's spin, but there is no output.
 


You need to post this on the Bitcoin forum. Nearly everyone in this forum is around games and do not understand the bitcoining rig. I just spent the last 30 minutes reading up on it and I didn't know you could run multiple cards that way.
