Yes, on a new mobo ;)
Same model mobo...?

Yes. Still there is no bios fix from Asus support for 4G on when there are more than 5 gpus on the board.

I'd be interested to hear how you got your 7 cards working.

Thanks for the update. I knew that you'd get it done. Congratulations.

So basically the board got permanently messed up because of a settings snafu, and a whole fresh new mobo was the only way to reconcile the situation? What an unnecessary hassle! Good work with a crazy situation!

The new X seems to be a very interesting card, but I expected more vram than same 12GB. It's a pity we still don't know full speed of Pascals in Octane.

I was (and still am) shocked that a Pascal GTX Titan X is being released so early in the Pascal cycle. I was hoping for a GP100 GTX Titan (?) since the Titan denotes the top of the GTX line; not GP102 Pascal GTX Titan - and expecting only one of them to drop. I was anticipating that the Titan would drop, at the earliest, toward the end of this next year or, more likely, next year. Could their be plans for two Pascal GTX Titans - an early $1,200+ Pascal GTX Titan (GP102) cash cow and a 2017 much fatter Pascal GTX Titan (GP100) $1,500+ /? to $3k) cash cow?

What about this, Titan-P?

Is this maybe the new Titan X Pascal?...

And here's the bigger question, with these less than expected specs:
WTF?
