R9 290X getting 20% of the expected ppd.
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2017 4:46 am
I have spent the last 2 weeks on and off trying to figure out why both of my 'R9 290X' gpu's are scoring far less then they should. I should be getting a total of 560,000 ppd, instead I am getting 80,000 ppd - 90,000 ppd. I have looked everywhere for solutions to this, the only suggestions seem to be:
1) Wait for a different protein, some are worth more then others
2) Check your drivers up-to-date on both cards
3) Check your gpu's are in 16x slots
Before those points are suggested;
1) Waiting makes no difference. After a few min both cards reach between 30,000 and 60,000 ppd. I have waited days, and they don't budge past 60,000.
2) I have installed different drivers including the latest drivers directly from the auto-update feature in windows aswell as from AMD themselfs, and even tried my cards on Windows 7 as well as Windows 10.
3) The top card is in a 16x slot, the bottom is in 4x. But from what I can see this should make a pretty small difference in the order of 10%... Where as I am getting an 80% reduction in score on both cards, not just the bottom one in 4x. Furthermore, the graphics cards are performing well in gaming and bench-marking situations
Help!
