Topic: Is it possible to go over 7 GPU? - page 2. (Read 1884 times)
7 is possible with w10 enterprise, beyond you have to rely on linux, i saw a few people doing 8 cards, but the problem is that you often have to buy very expensive motherboard (150€+) to have enough pci-lanes to make all the gpu work, so what you save you lose it on the motherboard, also the more card you have the more hard it's to get them all OCed/stable, so the more card in the rig the lower the OC goes usually. Above 7 is more than unrecommanded. But maybe other peoples can share real experiences, just speaking from what i saw in general on the forums. I also seems it's harder near impossible to make 7+ gpu rigs with nvidia cards.
bump?
To be cost effective, the fewer setups you have to buy the better. Also, CPU and Mobo draw power, so more cards reduce system draw.
Is it possible to go over 7 cards with 4 ways pcie 16x splitters? It creates 4x pcie 1x: http://amfeltec.com/products/flexible-x4-pci-express-4-way-splitter/
With a mobo like this:https://www.amazon.com/MSI-970-GAMING-DDR3-Motherboard/dp/B00LUY72F6/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1487713856&sr=1-3&keywords=motherboard&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6002777011
This looks like it has four 16x slots, that would be 16 cards right trhere, plus two 1x slots, for a grand total of 18 cards! It would be tought to power all that but is it possible?
