Why are two of them running so much slower? You identified which two it is? What I mean by that is the order doesn't make sense, but you have 4 of one brand and two of another. Are the Sapphire ones the slow ones? I know those are capable of much more than that.

Just got the Sapphire cards a couple of days ago so I'm still fiddling with the settings, also had issues with powered risers and non powered riser in terms of which PCI slot I was connecting them to. At times the mainboard wouldn't pass the post stage... So I'm using 3 powered risers and 3 non powered. But the biggest issue was to get Windows 8.1 to work with 6 cards, 5 was fine but the 6th came up with error 43, detected fine but couldn't mine with it. So then I used Techpowerup driver 13.1 then 13.12 and somehow I got the 6 cards detected as 7900 serie cards instead of R200 series and I could finally mine with 6 of them.

In reply to your question 1 of the HIS and 1 of the Sapphire cards are mining at less speed than they are able to... And still trying different settings to see if I could get them to go a little faster but without much luck yet. If anyone has any recommendation I'll be happy to listen. Overall I'm running about 0.5MH/s slower than I could but I can live with it. Have to say it's been a very interesting learning experience and happy to have 6 cards mining on the same board. If I get them all mining at least at 750 KH/s I will post here how I did it.
