Title: Urgent: Help noob get started with 5 GPUs on Windows 8 Post by: hunainshahzad on January 29, 2014, 04:34:48 PM Hello Senior and experienced members of the forum
I want to setup scrypt mining rig. My hardware is: Asus P45 Maximus Formula II motherboard Intel Intel® Dual-Core Processor E5200 2x 6990s and 1x HD 7950 Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Power Supply - TP-1200M --- Would this be enough to power those graphic cards? 4GB DDR2 Ram Normal HDD 2x x16 risers on which both 6990s would be installed and 1 x1tox16 riser on which 7950 would be installed. Now the real problem. Would i be able to run this graphic card setup on windows 8? As i have read somewhere windows 8 allows you to run extra graphic card. I dont want to go to linux i am a noob already linux would be hell. Is my harware choice correct? Or should i invest in other graphic card like 3x 7950. I am getting hd 6990 for around $330 which i think is a bargain. Would i be able to run the cards successfully or am i missing something here? Please reply urgently i want to build this rig todayyy Title: Re: Urgent: Help noob get started with 5 GPUs on Windows 8 Post by: hunainshahzad on January 30, 2014, 03:07:53 PM Bumppp guysss please i need your expert advice plz help me setup 5 gpu mining rig on windows

4 GPU's in windows 8 will definitely work. The 6990 are indeed a good buy. |
