Just bought a couple of XFX 280X to upgrade the 6950 (yes, it's going to be doing some mining), but having problems with the second card in.
System is :
Asus P8Z68-V LE
i5 2500
16GB
Couple of SSDs etc
Corsair AX850
With the second R280X in, the system locks up within a few seconds of the driver loading.
I didn't skimp on the PSU, but the motherboard was the cheaper part, it only supports 16x/4x. Is the problem the R280X needs a 16x slot? I thought a good quality PSU like the AX850 could handle two cards ok...
