Hello again gentlemen, sorry for the late response. I'm in California right now at a convention so I've been enjoying myself, anyways to the point.

Can you run a primary Display GPU on a riser...

Yes.

However I did not test it for a prolonged period of time so I do not know how reliable it is ...

I. Just to be sure, am I correct that you got six GPUs now working after you powered that previously non-working card?

Yes, I had the VGA power cables plugged into the the GPU only and not the PSU. Which it could be seen by the OS but couldn't be used (Because not enough power was going to it ...

Gentlemen I have to say that I'm just dumb..... I didn't have the 5th 980 ti plugged into the PSU unit................ it was so simple that I started to laugh :lol:

But yeah Phase 1 of the DTRM (Dream Team Render Machine) is in operation

Anyway, your progress is ahead of mine...

HA, you got ...

Gentlemen the new Motherboard and the GPU cluster unit and I can say that it ALMOST worked :( Out of the 6 GPUs I have I got 5 of them to work and the 6th one is recognized, but gets an Error code 43.

As for the Amfeltec GPU Cluster so far it has no problems. I'm questioning their instructions on ...

Thanks for the recommendations, I didn't know about PLX chips. Though I am going to try out the P9 X79 E-WS, which does have 2 PLX chips only because I don't feel like buying a new CPU if I can help it. Also the GPU Cluster ships tomorrow, but I don't know how fast it will arrive. Fingers are ...

Hello Notiusweb

Thank you for replying and here is what I tried so far...

I tried just hooking 1 GPU to the riser and plugging into each PCI Express lane sequential to see if it was the lanes, and only Lane 1 worked 100%. I was able to get lane 3 and 5 to kinda work but the display was laggy ...

Hello Gentlemen, seeing all these insane setups I thought I try it out myself.... but I can't get past 4 GPUs

I decided to go with the 16x to 1x USB risers http://www.amazon.com/RIF6-PCI-E-Adapter-Extension-SATA-powered/dp/B00IKT1OGM/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1432221951&sr=1-1&keywords=pcie ...

Well my original tests were like 3 days ago, but as long as there is something there then it is all good

When I press the Upload button on the bench it freezes for a second or two then the button becomes "clicked", void of color. I then wait to see my submissions on the bench to find out of my six, as of now, not to be there. So no error messages or anything at all it just sits there at the ...

For some strange reason when I try to upload scores they won't upload I don't know really what it is, but I was reading the forum about the 980 ti in the licensed and saw that someone posted a score of the 980 ti that was lower than my own averages. This is all on stock clock as well, no ...
