Topic: 8 card limit on Windows is Removed! (Read 8548 times)
Win 10 x64 Enterprise 2016 LTSB (Updated to version 1607 OS Build 14393.2125) and AMD Driver Adrenalin Edition 18.3.2 support more than 8 AMD GPUs. I tried with 11 without any issue.
You can see it in Windows settings/System/About if you have remote access. Thanks in advance.
I formatted those drives and moved on to HiveOS. It's mentioned in original post.

Hey guys just wanted to let you know this works in Win10x64 LTSB so you don't have to use the bloated Pro version.
What is the version of your LTSB? I am using Win 10 x64 Enterprise 2016 LTSB Version 1607 OS Build 14393.2125. Is this version with AMD Adrenaline Edition driver enough for more than 8 GPUs?
Don't know about AMD, and I don't remember which LTSB version it was off hand. But I still have the ISO though, so I'll check when I get home in a few days.
I have installed 16x 1070ti without any problem on win10
If there is power problem around your location that time you will get the more trouble on mining with the windows 10 OS. Initially when I started mining with the 10 RX 470 cards I have seen that good work from this os and I was using the awesome miner software to mine.
With in some weeks when the power automatically shut the rig work. Then when I restart I have seen many trouble with the win10 OS.
Then I have moved to the perfectmine OS to continue my mining work.
I have installed 16x 1070ti without any problem on win10
How?

I've moved on to HiveOS though and love it much more. But it's worth noting. Also to get afterburner to see it just reboot the computer after the drivers are installed for 9th card. Same as you have to do with less cards.
I'm formatting my drives so here's a pic while I can for you pic people. It does work.

I don't know if the special upgrade included in the fall creators pack was included in some smaller update, LTSB doesn't gets loads of updates like other windows versions or if it matters on the kind of adapters used.
I'm using these adapters: https://www.amazon.com/MintCell-Adapter-Mining-Ethereum-Monero/dp/B077F4VCHR/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MTJPG2N52QZ5TRC0J5YY
It made more sense to me to use those since each risers still gets individual power vs the adapters that share the power.

I use win10 64 1709 pro debloated. Asus B250 mining expert with 13 RX580 GPUs. Virtual mem. set to 80 GB on my SSD. Output with claymore 11.3 on nanopool is 398.5 mh/s and phoenix 2.7c is 396-397 mh/s. no faults or errors. just stable mining. However profits are dwindling fast it seems. All altcoins constantly going down compared to the USD.

Still no screenshots, just talk 
I can get 15 cards in device manager, but show me them actually mining all at the same time.
Im running 10 GTX (1080, 1060, 1060 and the balance in 1050TI) on my Asus B250 Mining Expert m/b on rig 2 with a 850w and a 650w power supply. On rig 1 I have 7 cards currently until I replace a bad fan on a power supply of mine. That rig has RX570, (4) RX580, RX560 and a GTX 1060 on it. Rig 1 also has a Asus B250 m/b. Stable as can be and making me that $$$. I run 120gb SSD on each. Rig 2 has two 4gb 2133 memory and Rig 1 has only one stick of 4gb 2133 (until I receive the 2nd ordered 4gb stick of memory). So far Rig 1 is stable but I just shutdown a 6gpu m/b rig and transferred it all to my 2nd Asus B250 m/b. You have to have windows 1709 update. I can get 15 cards in device manager, but show me them actually mining all at the same time.Min 40gb and max ? How much ram do I need ? Wat do I need if I want to add more gpus ? Thanks
use fucking search function or google
you´re welcome
Other solutions ?
larger storage space so u can increase virtual mem.
Does this work on LTSB or only with the fall creators update? Would much rather not use the bloatware versions of windows.
Any way to slipstream whatever small change was made into LTSB?

Guys pls help me . I have Asus mining expert motherboard (19 gpu slots). Works fine with 4 1080ti but when I attach the 5th 1080ti , my Ethminer crash with error : error cuda mining an illegal memory access was encountered .
Pls help , and thanks !
Pls help , and thanks !
Must rise virtual memory, i suggest minimum 40gb in your case.
Just wanted to Verify!
Ive heard some rumors that its now possible to use more than 8 cards on Windows 10 systems, so shutdown my rigs and mixed up one with 10 Nvidia cards, thats now doing rock solid on all 10! The 1709 Update fixes this limit.
Can anyone confirm what the limit is now?
Can anyone confirm that its the same for AMD cards? I Don`t have enough cards to verify this at the moment.

Awesome news, thank you very much for this kind of information.
On Gigabyte official website they say "Windows 10 version 1703 64-bit or higher is recommended"

10 GPU running on a Gigabyte Fintech,
4 x 1060 6GB Powerlimit 60 % between 325 and 335 Sols/ s
2 x 1070 Powerlimit 70 % between 435 and 445
2 x 1080 Powerlimit 70 % between 485 and 505
2 x 1080 Ti Powerlimit 70 % between 650 and 680
Total draw of the wall is between 1440 en 1475 watt
All Cards are Gigabyte Aorus, cpu i3 and 8GB Ramm
Problem was that AB only sees 8 GPU, now I use Nvidia Inspector and all problems are gone.
Since EWBF gave problems with the OC, all cards were put back to factory, after reset all cards were put down in power and all core clocks got a 50 +
Mem I didn't play with yet, since it is stabil this way.
And now a question, is it wise to put the mem on the 1080 Ti cards negativ ? This should give a lower temp if I am right ?
