FYI when the GTX's are water cooled they only take up one slot per card, so yep could put 4 in there if you want.

Thanks for the tip... I'm using GTX 470's, I've got two but not enough PCIe x16 to go around on my MB.

My endgame is to have 3 GTX 470's in there all water cooled, should be quite the power box when I'm through.

BTW that 750w power supply should cover the 3x gtx's if thats all it's powering ...

Ok I'll wait for the x16 version (didn't see it anywhere on the site)... BTW when it does come time for my purchase will refractive provide discount codes for we octane users?

Just wondering,

I'm thinking about getting a Cubix xpander.... Question...

If I want to use a GFX card in an xpander for my display will there be a performance hit compared to the same card plugged directly into a PCI x16 slot on the motherboard?... I only say that because if I read right the xpander card for ...

Ah... Okay...

Fantastic job none the less!


Thanks,

Just a quick question...

I was rendering an animation and was looking at my cpu load while loading and importing models and textures and I saw it only using one cpu, for a heavy scene this can take some time. For an animated sequence adds exponentially...

Since the focus has always been towards ...

You might also look into liquid cooling, that's what I'm doing with mine. With that many GTX 4** cards in one box good airflow or no your going to have some heat buildup on the motherboard let alone the cards, plus it would only take up one card slot instead of two.

Protect your investment.

Although probably way too late but maybe fun to have the next competition to design the Refractive show booth.
