From everything I read so far, it sounds like it's easier to use a 4 PCIE slot mobo with this PCIE multiplier to run 6 cards, than it is to use a 6 PCIE mobo to run 8 cards...
Yeah, in the end, sometimes cheaper if you use something like an x58 board/system |

i'm using gigabyte am2+ and am3 old motherboard just about 25-30usd(not new) in here it have 5 pcie and i'm using 1 to 3 multiplier so all is 7 gpu and it's all work fine  ,all x4 procesor. i have asrock btc it just can boot with 7 gpu too,cannot boot if i add 8 gpu,no mather what procesor i put on it. i have asus rampage black edition too(expensive one),it just support i7 procesor,it has 6 pcie,using 1 to 3 multiplier it can boot 8gpu. biostar 990fxa am3 it have 4 pcie..i can add 2x 1 to 3 ..but it just can boot 7 too,cannot boot if i add 8. the most i can add gpu is in z170 asus(expensive too),if i'm using celeron it just can boot 7 gpu,if i'm using i7..i can add 2 of 1to3 multiplier and it's working all. so until now if i build new rig,i just using the gigabyte old one,it's very cheap hahaha Dude, Would you please tell me the exact mobo you use? I'd like to try that. I am using a88x-g45 and it can only boot to 5. I got to use some stuff to make it boot to 6. However, if I do so, it's less stable. |

Hi all,
Did anybody had success in running 7 GPUS Nvidia with this switch on Asrock H81 Pro BTC? I have 6 GTX 1080 ti and when I try to add this hub/switch to add 7th card GTX 1070 the system don't recognize it or I can't boot the system (Windows 10).
When I try to connect 5 GPUs to mobo and 6th card to this hub it doesn't work either. It did work once but this 6th card I couldn't change any settings in MSI Afterburner then after restart stop working. I have two of these and none of them works for me.
If you have any ideas or expirience with this Switch I would appreciate any help.

PCIe 3x or 4x Splitters do not support Nvidia cards, are built primarily for AMD. |

Hey, I connected a rx 480 to a PCI slot. Not pcie. It smoked! Now my card is not recognized. I've tried in different pc's. Is there a fuse or capacitor that might have blown on the cards board?

Yes if it smoked, it blew a few caps at max. But its not something you can change unfortunately, you'll have to give it in for RMA. |

That's the first time I've heard of this..are you sure? I can't get mine to work on my Nvidia cards, so this would make sense. |

Have you tried inserting your splitter in a way that the motherboard only has as many graphics cards as could be installed without it? For example, if you have 4 physical PCIe slots on the motherboard, try putting one card directly in the primary x16 slot, then using a splitter card for up to 3 additional cards. This can help check if the splitter card can actually function at all in that board. |

Hi, im trying 1 to 3 adapter but with Nvidia 1060 it is not working, they are not found as devices , with AMD cards its working fine ...  Anyone know if its normal for the Nvidia GPU's not to work with those adapters ? |

Yes. These PCI-E spiltters only work with AMD cards.

Anyone know if its normal for the Nvidia GPU's not to work with those adapters ? I have one working fine (still) in an MSI 970A-G43, with Nvidia 1060s. I'm using Windows 7. https://www.amazon.com/Ubit-Riser-Adapter-Powered-Extension/dp/B0746H1KY3(Although, if you have a mix of cards and can connect them such that only the AMD cards go through the adapter, that would likely be a quicker workaround for your troublesthan purchasing a different riser card.) I'm not sure if any deductive research has been done to support claims about these devices not supporting graphics cards with Nvidia GPUs. It seems this belief is only based on some number of examples. |

This switch does not work with nVidia cards. |
