Title: Windows 7 // 4 card max? Post by: TsaktuO on January 15, 2014, 10:58:37 PM I was wondering if anyone else is having troubles with loading more than 4 cards on 1 mobo for windows 7 rig setup. I plan on running 6 cards on 1 mobo.
If it will be an issue, i will than have to run linux.. but Im kinda scared i wont be able to get the drivers i want with Linux. PLEASE help me with what it best, thank youin advance for these questions. Title: Re: Windows 7 // 4 card max? Post by: demonserbia on January 15, 2014, 11:27:47 PM In windows 7 maximum is 4 GPUs, try windows 8 I think there you can install 6 GPUs, last station is Linux SMOS or something else, its your choice.
Title: Re: Windows 7 // 4 card max? Post by: overture on January 16, 2014, 12:21:27 AM You can do at least 5 if you use the correct driver. I recommend Cat 12.6 + SDK 2.7
Not sure about 6, never tried. Title: Re: Windows 7 // 4 card max? Post by: overture on January 16, 2014, 12:36:55 AM Also you may run into hardware limitations with your actual motherboard. Sometimes they won't let you use every PCI slot, even if you have them, without a workaround (presence jumper) or sometimes not even that. Varies by model.
Generally I find Win8 to be crappier for a rig than Win7, so try the old driver first. Title: Re: Windows 7 // 4 card max?

Post by: pwpwpw on January 16, 2014, 12:56:35 AM It is possible to use 6gpu win7 system, but you have to manually edit the drivers, imo if you don't *want to feel suicidal or have a mental breakdown, go for 4gpu systems with win7 or win8 for 6gpu. Its just not worth it... or go for 5gpu in win7 but still, 4 is the safe choice. (typo edit)
