Title: Msi 990FXA 6 card support
Post by: kasus on April 07, 2013, 05:55:04 PM
Hi, does anybody have 6 vga working on MSI 890/990FXA-GD65/70/85 etc?
I have BAMT, MSI 990FXA-GD65 and 5 cards (7950 and 5850) works great, but when I plug 6th it detects cards in aticonfig, but all applications with ADL are freezing(cgminer, atitweak).
I read some post that 890fxa doesn't support 6 vga in same time, is it true?

I have 6 cards working on 890fxa-gd65. Using 1x > 1x risers. Every slot needs pci-e presence short mod. The computers in the middle left and top left are the board in question. They each have 8 GPUs (some are dual gpu cards). 8 GPUs is the driver limit. Using Win7 x64.

Its a windows/driver problem. Its not a problem with the motherboard.
