Got 16 Rigs with 6 GPU's with windows 7. Works perfectly.
Works even better on Windows 10.

Do you mean the miners hash faster on Windows 10. I heard somebody said Win 10 is not good for mining. Do you have AMD cards?

+5 GPUs on Windows 7, wont with with the drivers you need to mine ETH.
There was a method with 13.12

Most motherboards will support 5 GPU without problem. Some boards share the PCIE lane, you cannot use all the slots.

Anybody know if you can run ethminer using old AMD drivers like 14.4 and 13.12? I want to use more than 4 GPUs but I am using Windows 7.
Etherminer does not work with 14.4 or below. The lowest version which can work is the 14.6. It works well with 15.7. If you just want to mine with 6 GPU, there is no need to mod.
I have the same problem. With Win 7 and AMD 15.12 drivers, the fifth card doesn't install properly. All I can find on the internet so far are mystical references.
Cant do 5 gpus with WIndows 7, upgrade to 8.1
You can certainly do 5+ GPUs on Win 7, it just takes a little work to get it going....

In general, it is possible to use up to 7 GPU in the Win7. Some motherboards do not support too many GPU.

Light reading for anyone interested in future Eth profit potential. Boost VC is moving away from investing in BTC companies to invest in companies building upon the Ethereum network.

Did you measure your whole system power with a power meter from the socket on the wall?
These 970 cards cost $370 in my country. So it is not profitable to make a rig with them if the Ethereum price drops.
you can always sell them if it is not profitable, 970 can be sold easily on the market, but the question is is ethereum still profitable?
Building a rig and set up the system costs lots of time of money. If we can make good profit, it is ok to build.

Yes, we can sell. But buying and selling costs lots of money if you have a big farm to deal with.

The life span of the GPU rigs for Ethereum is just 10 months. Do you know any coin worth mining?
The hash rate is 822GH/s now. It is rising very fast. It doubled from 3 months ago. The rate is increasing.
I predict it will rise even faster in the months leading up to the summerWhy? Do you think people are spending more time and money to build more rigs to mine ethereum?

For me, there is no mining performance difference between the W7 and W8.1. So it is OK to upgrade.

No-one said you had to, no-one's trying to convince you either way. If it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense.I need nVidia kit because of my work (HPC); virtually all GPGPU is CUDA-based, some is Intel Phi, but nothing of consequence uses AMD, or for that matter OpenCL (yet?). Doesn't make sense for me to buy any Radeon's even though they're "cheap", does it?
I haven't sold a single ETH yet, don't care where others think the price will go. No-one does, if anyone says so they're full of shit. I have my plan/goal, sticking with it, and if the whole altcoin world craters I could care less because I didn't spend money on hardware I can't use now and later, and I've only spent a small fraction of my electric bill on it.
It is better to use the existing rig to mine. The price is quite volatile, so it might not be profitable to mine in the future.
Isn't the BTC price volatile? Might it not be profitable to mine in the future?
