Has anyone gotten 8GPUs to work on windows? Kind enough to share about how you did to make it work? Win versions, drivers, miners etc....

I am getting fustrated with linuxcoin for a simple fact that during my installation, the screen go out of range and I do not have enough knowledge to fix it. Sad

Hello Wink

Some points to check:

1. Make sure you have enough power. I've used 2 1200 Watts PSUs in parallel (see this page for an example: http://cablesaurus.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=22).
2. I also used powered PCIe extenders (Example: http://cablesaurus.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=12)
3. I'm using WIndows 7 64bit.
4. Also make sure that your BIOS can map enough memory for your GPUs. I had to disable various (unneeded) internal things in the BIOS before it would boot with all 8 GPUs. Things I disabled: USB3 controller, eSATA, something else (don't remember exactly Smiley)

What problems do you currently have in your setup?

I tried to do 7 with Windows, and it turns out that you need a motherboard with some PCI latency setting to get it working right (and that the motherboard I had did not support said setting). Expect to do 5 unless you're lucky and have a motherboard with a BIOS that supports it.

If my post helped you in some way, please donate to 1NP2HfabXzq1BB288ymbgnLcGoeBsF7ahP. Smiley
