Still no screenshots, just talk

I can get 15 cards in device manager, but show me them actually mining all at the same time.

Believe me now?

Guys, i can't start any miner with more than 8 GPU
I tested an 11 GPU (4 1060+7 1070) rig and every miner i tried crarshes. All the GPU are in the device manager without any error.
If i switch to mi HIVEOS (Linux distro) i can mine with all the cards flawlessy
What have you done to make it work on windows?

Now I do! How did you achieve more than 8 nvidia cards under Windows 10 ?

Update your windows to the latest version.

Successfully running 10 AMD gpus on latest win10. MSI afterburner cant recognize cards, but sapphire trixx can.
All of cards must be in compute mode in amd control panel settings.

What miner is this?

Assuming that you're talking about the ETH miner - it is Phoenix Miner.

Use the latest driver and 1709 update. That's all you need, assuming that you have setup the motherboard properly.

I've also made a guide on how to get 13 cards but it was ignored.

yes, I success to use more than 9 GPU's Nvidia on Windows 1709.

Really? Can you show us screenshot of all 9 cards mining at same time? As far as we know, Windows 10 does NOT support more than 8 nvidia cards.

Works well for more than a month already.

That is not even true...
Win10 64bit can support almost unlimited number of gpus.
It was always drivers or hardware limitation, nothing more.
Guys, please do not repeating this myth again, again and again!!!

Biostar tb250btc pro
4 1060 6gb 2 1060 3gb on cheap chinese risers
Windows 10 1703 to start 1709 to finish
390.xx to start 388.31 in middle end with 388.13
4gb ram
cheap 1151

Once again I was struggling with this upon adding a sixth card. Only 5 were seen at first and then I plugged the sixth one in Roll Eyes

DOOH! Then when I reboot only 5 again but 1 had dropped off and another came on. Tried changing drivers. No change. Then when trying to change again, windows said gtfo and refused to play anymore.

so
I rebuilt my usb bootable with the new 1709 . loaded it up :spinning wheels: and all 6 show in device manager! Driver that loaded is 388.13
mining like a mofo!

This is going to eventually be 12 1060 6gb on a custom built frame I made.

I can make anything you can think of as long as it is LxWxH
Normal stock size is 20L x 14W x 10 1/2H for 6 gpu
and 24 x 14 x 10 1/2 for 8 GPU and 2 PSU
I just made one that was 17W 25W x 7 tall with PVC instead of wood.
have a look here (eBay) https://www.ebay.com/itm/263432567696?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
and local craigslist (and many others across western us) https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/sop/d/mining-frames-for-gpus-eth/6466654244.html

The question is, does one want to have more than 9 GPUs on a Windows computer? Grin

There are far more suitable options than Windows for this.

Does one want to have more than 9 GPU's on Windows? No. But one might be stuck with Windows. I have two mining rigs, both Windows. When I have time I am going to convert them to Linux.

Hi I am trying to get 12x 1070 running on Win10/Biostar BTC-250PRO
ATM getting WHEA uncorrectable BSOD, putting it down to driver or installation issue but now worried I cannot find any confirmed details of Win10 systems over 8 NVidia GPUs.

@roptix did you have any joy?

There is a link to a detailed post for 13 1080 ti working here:
