Will this configuration work ?

[WalterSulivan]

Hello ! 

I dont want to buy a new motherboard cause of 1 additional card ... 

1) cards with watercooling so their size is smaller in width 

2) in order to avoid questions like "dont you think that 4 is too much for games" or sth like that, I decided to clarify: I'm not a gamer , its for octane render

No. 8-way SLI isn't supported AFAIK

Yea, riser cards work. If the rest of the system can handle it, you should have a problem running them all for what ever use.

nice pic, so much effort into it tho lol

and it'll probably work if the riser is good enough

and if you have a power supply to supply enough wattage for 4x titan Z

Titan Z is 2 Titans

It's for rendering, so not necessarily SLI.

Doesn't that require driver support tho?

Not entirely sure, I've never used a single dual GPU card, let alone 4 of them. AFAIK, rendering programs that can take advantage of multiple GPUs should be able to use the four Titan Zs just fine. Not really a practical solution, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

anyway its not 8 way sli )) 8 way sli is different 

titan z has only one sli connector 

how can it be 8 way 

moreover I'm not using sli at all

No idea - can Nvidia cards even run bellow 8x tho? 40 lanes divided by 8 cores gives us 5 PCIe lanes per GPU. IIRC SLI firmware requires 8x minimum

Well, for conventional SLI, yes, 8x is the minimum. Not sure how dual GPU cards would handle it though.

same question I asked nvidia tech support 

guess what they said ? ))) 

"we dont know" ...  what else can we say here 

when I forced to ask someone else , not tech support itself ) they dont know 

perfect answer

well you should consult the nvidia support for this since you're buying 4 of their most expensive consumer cards `-`

its unlikely we can give you a definitive answer since no one here runs anything like this lol

loool read my previous posts )) I've mentioned nvidia and their tech support there ))

yea ive read it

 

make them find out or say that if they send you the cards you'll help them find out

in a professional way of course

in order to make them send you 4  best cards to you, you need to be Linus ))  

so waiting for moderator maybe he knows ... ))

lol not even linus gets a titan z

didnt see a titan z review on ltt channel (ncix yes, ltt no)

probably because its too impractical for most people

[Moonzy]

also, isnt the titan z a triple slot cooler? thought i was wrong when i saw your pic

now that i went back to watch the vid, it is triple slot `-`

its triple , but we are talking about water block , it will shrink its size to 2 slots 

watercooling has its own plate as I know 

 he would never put 4 titan z like that with triple size plate
