awesome product, we just need the drivers to suck a bit less and remove the arbitrary limits of gpus
yes, these -are- 1x pci-e risers, they use USB3 cabling just because the signal fits over the wires, not because it -is- usb
Topic: 104 GPU on a single mobo (Read 848 times)
I believe that windows can only support up to 8 GPUs from same maker. Meaning 8 nvidia + 8 AMD = 16 GPUs total. After that windows don't recognize the GPUs. I remember reading that on linux should be possible to use more GPUs but I have not checked this info.
I am happy with six. I don't even want to run 12. A crashed or frozen system can cause you to lose a ton of hash rate in a hurry.
You have to buy multiple power supplies for the big builds anyway so you save what $200 on a motherboard, CPU and ram? $200 per $3000 of GPU's is pretty insignificant in my eyes vs the benefits of having separate systems.

What if this is used for boards not meant for high end meaning I can get a normal $50 boards and use one of these. I do see a substantial power and deployment cost saving.
I dont think this card is for GPU, more look like for USB ASIC mining 
No on single OS can handle 104 GPU's.

Yes, that is PCI-E to USB card, mainly for USB ASIC mining
These are not for GPUs. That's not how PCI-E lanes work.

similar to what you have showing.

Anyone know what risers are these and where I can find some?
