Hi everybody I have asus motherboard with 4 gpu slots my question is. Can I put the display card in the fourth slot because it is very tight to install gtx 780 there. So in this case I can earn three slot to use it as gpu render.

Thank you.

Check your motherboard bios/UEFI settings. Usually there is an option to select which card will be used on boot.
If your motherboard has this option, then it should work.
Just plug your monitor into the 4th card and it should show on boot and windows should use it.

Thanks
Chris.

I have 2 computers, one doesnt have this option, so I cant do that. The other actually detects which card has my monitor plug into and uses that card. So it really depends on your board. *most* motherboards will give you this option in the BIOS. check the BIOS manual if you cant find it.
