No on single OS can handle 104 GPU's. Title: Re: 104 GPU on a single mobo Post by: dan991199 on September 10, 2017, 02:49:23 AM http://cryptomining-blog.com/8996-new-pci-e-16x-to-8-port-usb-3-0-expansion-card-for-gpu-mining/
similar to what you have showing. Title: Re: 104 GPU on a single mobo Post by: bathrobehero on September 10, 2017, 02:50:43 AM These are not for GPUs. That's not how PCI-E lanes work.

Yes, that is PCI-E to USB card, mainly for USB ASIC mining 8) Title: Re: 104 GPU on a single mobo Post by: mewhoyou on September 10, 2017, 03:49:29 AM What if this is used for boards not meant for high end meaning I can get a normal $50 boards and use one of these. I do see a substantial power and deployment cost saving.
Title: Re: 104 GPU on a single mobo Post by: bdog1234 on September 10, 2017, 07:05:10 AM I am happy with six. I don't even want to run 12. A crashed or frozen system can cause you to lose a ton of hash rate in a hurry.
You have to buy multiple power supplies for the big builds anyway so you save what $200 on a motherboard, CPU and ram? $200 per $3000 of GPU's is pretty insignificant in my eyes vs the benefits of having separate systems. Title: Re: 104 GPU on a single mobo Post by: Trofo on September 10, 2017, 09:41:22 AM I believe that windows can only support up to 8 GPUs from same maker. Meaning 8 nvidia + 8 AMD = 16 GPUs total. After that windows don't recognize the GPUs. I remember reading that on linux should be possible to use more GPUs but I have not checked this info.

yes, these -are- 1x pci-e risers, they use USB3 cabling just because the signal fits over the wires, not because it -is- usb |
