Title: ASUS P6T7 WS SuperComputer Motherboard
Post by: noogai93 on July 03, 2011, 04:21:33 AM
Hi all,

Just wondering if anybody had an idea if the ASUS P6T7 WS SuperComputer motherboard could run 7x Graphics Cards,
by extender cables of course.

Would most likely have multiple power supplies running too, but just imagine 7x 6990s in one rig...

The Big Bang Marshall has 8 slots.

Both Linux and Windows can only support 8 gpus with 11.6, so that's 4 6990's max.

You can actually run more than 8 GPU's with a modified Linux but it's unstable and not feasible for real world usage due to constant crashes.

People on the FASTRAN project managed as much as 13 gpu's on one system (using some duals obviously as well)
