Did using PCIE Riser change something on the performance? Using x1? | |

Using one is likely to increase your error rate somewhat. They're not very reliable. | |

Depending on the performance of your GPU and PCIe version used 1x is really slow. 4x PCIe 3 is still approximately enough for the current GPU-Grid app, though. | |

Using one is likely to increase your error rate somewhat. They're not very reliable. From past experience I would agree, but you can keep the slightly higher error rate down by using a good PSU, not overclocking, and running cool (which is easier anyway). Well made (copper wire/connector) risers are ok, but there are some low-grade (cheap alloy) versions. If it looks as cheap as tin, it is. As GPU's take power from the PCIE slot it's a good idea to get a riser with a power cable (often molex). This covers the PCIE power loss from the cable length and additional connection. Overclocking on a riser would be pushing it, but I expect the Maxwell's are a lot more power resilient and reliable on a riser than the Keplers and previous generations. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help | |

Experiment to assess using PCIEx1. | |
