*Strokes chin*

I'm looking forward to seeing what this baby can do, and if anyone can test it for folding, Jason can!

 

*Also strokes chin*

Firstly would be interesting to see if it handles 4 x GTX295's ok but then would be super duper uber cool if he used PCIe extender ribbon cables and fanned out 7 x GTX295's in a custom built case and a couple of 1000w PSUs haha

I know it would be waaaaay too much arsing about and money but would be very cool! lol

 

*strokes*

That would be an absurd amount of power draw with 7x295's, and that would have to be quite an interesting case to fit them all anyway. My thought would be watercool 7x285's and avoid all the fuss of getting PCI-E extenders and custom fabrication. That and it would be awesome to have 7 of these sitting in some random beige box, just waiting to blow the doors off 99.9% of rigs out there...

*strokes again*

 

I'm sure that's what Jason intends to try ...

 

Now if they just hurry up with that single board GTX295 you might be able to squeeze 7 watercooled ones on there

 

Did they do anything different with the dies, or did they just figure out a way to tetris all that stuff onto one PCB? Either way, I look forward to the day when that comes out, as it will be but one more piece of hardware to pine for

Unbeleavable that its already available on e-bay

 

Just finished checking distribution.
There is no official stock in the country yet & trade prices are looking around £272 + VAT

 

No Stock (as there's none in distribution) but these guys are only a few quid over trade Clicky

Ouch

Not too bad though for overclockers though.
Wonder where they got their stock from?
Hope it doesn't go wrong as their RMA process is a nightmare (stil ltrying to claim back the money they owe me)

hmm. this thread will need a "yes, it folds!" image.

 

Indeed, £350 on a motherboard for folding is naassty. I'd consider it if it was my only machine, but not a hope I'll be splashing that much out for a long time!

This early in the release, I'm going to have to go for off lorries (back of)

Same. They are the worst company in the history of computer parts suppliers in the UK for customer service. Don't care how good/ bad it is now, they screwed us over once and I'll never give them a chance to do it again.

I would be very intrested to see the P6T7 with 7x GTX295 with Risers to see if the motherboard can handle it. I was disappointed to read Issue 70 that the P6T6 was unable to support 6x Single Slot GFX cards, does anyone know if this has now been resolved?

 

Leaving aside address space limitations and OS issues, the CUDA drivers at present will support a maximum of 8 GPU's. ie. 4x GTX295.

 

Thank you for letting me know. I am sure a custom case and OS could support it but its disappointing that the CUDA drivers only support 8 GPU's. Lets hope they will increase this in future.
