Ok, it's very clear now to me.
Thanks for the reply
Topic: Combine GPU Power (Read 135 times)
I feel like we have "blind leading the blind here"
No you cannot combine 4 gpu to run as 1, it doesn't make it faster infact in distributed computing when you have multiple processors/cores/gpus acting as one they run slow [or depends on how fast they can share data between than... thats why supercomputers employ "infini band 10gb/s lanes to share data so they can run all the cores as 1 " but thats expensive proposition. your 4 gpus are on x1 connected with USB so lot of latency issue between them.
so it would be counterproductive.
I can give you 10 other reason why it won't be a good idea, but just do some basic search on how dagger hashimoto algorithm runs by creating DAG file and where it resides in GPU GDR5 ram
hope that helps

Heey all,
Maybe I have a silly question, I don't know, so forgive me if so.
I have 4 GPU's, 1060's.
For Ether the Hashrate is about 23Mh/s per GPU with Ethminer (genoil), so all oke.
But if I look to the console screen, the output says things like 'GPU 0: Solution found' and 'GPU 2: Solution found'.
So I think all GPU are doing there own calculations, so in fact they act like they are 4 seperate computers with each having a hashrate of 23Mh/s.
I think the efficiency would be much, much better, if the mining software would combine the 4 GPU power together, having a combined (calculation) hashrate of 92Mh/s
This would be good if the difficulty is high and calculations are running faster.
Maybe I'm mistaken and is the mining-software already doing this, but the console says different.

Show us a screenshot of the miner program running and we can let you know.
