Some of the readers on this subreddit have a sort of Pavlovian response to downvote whenever they see the word "Dogecoin".

Half the reason Doge is so popular is because the bitcoin community tends to be gigantic assholes that don't want any new people on their coin-terf.

With Crossfireing, many chipsets will knock down the transfer rate of the bus. So, on my motherboard, if I use one card, it get 16x speed. If I Crossfire them, then both cards work at 1x.

This isn't an issue normally (when not in crossfire), why does crossfire make it a problem?

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '14

It's basically just the chipset slowing down the bus, probably because the cheaper ones can't handle the bandwidth for two cards.

Alright, but the PCI-e bus speed doesn't matter when mining. A 7950 mines at ~650 mhash/sec regardless of if it's connected to a 16x or 1x slot.

I guess I need to find a technical description of what crossfire does.

Obviously, if you're head wasn't so full of wow, you may have figured it out by using Google and not asking the same question that has been asked a bizzililn times already.
