then do you use cards with 1 or 2 gpus ?? Q: how many pcie slots you have Q: are you prepared to buy another power supply Q: what gfx cards you planning on using?

Post by: stryker on July 22, 2011, 10:50:12 AM just found your board has: Expansion Slots: 2 x PCI Express x16 slots, running at x16 (PCIEX16_1, PCIEX16_2), 2 x PCI Express x16 slots, running at x4 (PCIEX4_1, PCIEX4_2), 2 x PCI Express x1
so thats a possible 8 slots??? wow thats a lot.... you'd prod not want more than 4 cards tho as i think (depending on the card) they draw som current from the motherboard and more than 4 might be pushing it.... I suppose someone who has tried this might read your post :-) Title: Re: Max number of GPU's on a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3? Post by: stryker on July 22, 2011, 10:50:55 AM sorry, 6 slots, i cant count ;D
