8 separate Gpus?

[Bajantechnician]

If I were to get the p9x79 e-ws motherboard, would I be able to use all 8 slots for graphics cards at the same Time? 4 nvidia, 4 amd? Not going to actually do it, just curious. Thx

I dont think they would all fit. You would only put the gpus in the blue pci slots. so 4 way is the maximum, anything else isnt physically possible

[thekeemo]

yes if single slot

PCI-E risers.

There are only 7 slots on that board.

PCIE risers would allow him too fit more on the board.

PCI-E risers.

Is 8 way SLI even supported? Do they even make bridges for that

No it is not, and no they do not.

Windows can only manage 4 GPU's at once anyway.

Nope. There isn't really any point in it either. As of now, no consumer board fits more than 4 GPU's without any PCI-E risers. And if they were to use a backplane, they likely wouldn't be using SLI anyway.

False. I had Windows (8) managing 6 R9 270X's

i meant to say 8, it was a typo.

the keys are close

Hang on, I'm about to throw 7 K4000's in a system

 

I'm pretty sure it would work, but I dont know how windows will manage all those GPU's. SLI and Xfire are a no go.

Maybe.. but 4way+ SLI wouldn't work, so they'd have to be separate GPUS such as 4 amd and 4 nvidia or 4 quadros and 4 geforce ect. and they would be used separately
