quad Titan Kepler 6GB + quad Titan X Pascal 12GB + quad GTX1080 8GB + dual GTX1080Ti 11GB
it's the connection port that apple already adopted
It is supposed to combine PCIE expansion and video transfer - and is faster than usb3, so we can connect our graphic cards to external boxes properly and you can connect monitors directly to that port..
And seems like it could replace USB - but it wont..

Hi ettore, the T3 expansion box has only 250 Watt.
This is not enough for two cards (only two GTX 550 Ti), but it is may possible to drive two cards with an external power supply.
I think it is the best to contact magma for it.
Cheers, mib.

- I dont think you can even fit two doublesized cards inside.. and the PSU seems like it's implemented in the box somehow - a bit of a fail,
or you can fit them but you have to choose a 8x and 4x speed option (what happened to the 16x one)
- I would ask them what is the point of buidling this external box if it was made for single sized low power cards .. why would I want three of those in a box - only thing I can think is that you want to connect like 6 monitors - but you can connect 4 with a 590gtx anyway, but 250W is not enough even for that ..
You can always connect an external PSU to that (which you turn on manually via a paperclip), but it will look ugly cause the PSU will be outside of the box probably
why do they keep on making compromises like that - the box should have 8 double slot sized PCIe ports (or at leas a option to expand), that would be as big as a regular pc case though, or at least make it modular, and the case can be a skeleton - save on the price (I really don't care about how it looks, a skeleton case would even be pretty cool of a solution)
and sell them without a PSU - again saves on their price - because anyone can insert their own PSU according to their setup (they can give you options, but a option without a case and PSU should be one) - to which market are they aiming with this - it is underpowered for any GPU rendering options (250 W is enough for a single 580 or 590, maybe)
I would be pretty happy just getting the electronic board without anything - that would also reduce the cost of shipping, and the case.. less bulk, faster delivery - I am sure there have chinese counterparts that are producing the electronic boards for them, and others, and maybe we should find out which one it is and purchase from there, I could even have fun assembling a box on my own, a 3d cnc milling project
But I like the fact thunderbolt is supposed to work in this manner - this is the best solution yet, just have to look for more manufacturers, and which PC boards support thuinderbot - the damn problem is that I have old mainboards on all computers - and upgrading everything is costly - and I am pretty happy with my 2 year old pc, with 2xSSD in raid0 (working on around 500mb/s transfer speeds. and 24 gb ram - after introducing octane into workflow - CPU speed stopped being a concern to me) windows experience index on win7 is hitting the top numbers on almost everything, why upgrade, I only want to upgrade the number of graphics cards, we are still missing that holy grail of PCIe expansion
