GPU Risers

Those splitters cost something like $250. Bad support and sales people who are completely uninterested in helping you, and secret agent style pricing (where you have to ask for a quote). But the splitter is working great on my machine.

my experience with their support was much better, I (& few of my friends) had issues with their products (mainly because of our own fault), but Guys from Amfeltec replied timely solving all of them. Had a backplate, splitter & I could not be happier with purchase as it brings good value & as mentioned, support was awesome.

Yes, I had good service from them as well. The only odd thing is getting a quote for a piece of hardware, especially in the age of impatience.

That's great that you had good experiences there, must have been just me. Received a lot of very short unhelpful emails. As I mentioned, the splitters have been working well (outside of Premiere and Media Encoder not knowing what to do with them.) Also, in the category of making my own mistakes, those ribbon cables to the splitters have tiny and fragile connectors! A few times, I realized that they weren't connected all the way. It was originally my intention to put two splitters on one machine with 8 outboard GPUs. But the whole setup just got too fragile. So I've build two duplicate machines with a splitter in each. Its very exciting, but I'm waiting on GTX 1080 compatibility to populate out the remaining GPUs, might still go with 980 TI's, we'll see.
