My AMD 5970 is only outputting half the performance!
« on: July 19, 2014, 07:36:44 AM »
As i know this is a 2 gpu in 1 card.

It has 2 DVI output and 1 Minidisplayport output.

I only have 1 dvi used up to connect to the monitor, do I need to use both dvi output to gain maximum performance?

What makes you think that you are only getting half the performance?

When I see benchmark scores with people using the same gpu, mine is half the score.

Hi

What motherboard are you using ? Perhaps you have an early PCIE spec slot on the motherboard.

Should be fine?
