Title: Difference between GPU @ x16-x16 Riser or direct on Mainboard
Post by: ammi84 on February 13, 2014, 07:13:21 AM
Hi,

i got my 5-GPU-Rig running last night
i had to put one GPU direct in the PCIe16 Slot (the other 4 work with x1-x16 Risers)

Does the 5th card work, when i put it in a x16-x16 (powered) riser for this slot or has it to be on the mainboard directly?

Thank you :-)

i would try it myself but i don't want to buy a riser without knowing if it works or not
