No, no yet. I wasted too much time this week with trying to get a 4th GTX295 to work in the Tyan S7025 (dual 55xx Xeon) board. Even though this has 4x double spaced 16x/16x PCI-E slots, 3x GTX295's work just fine, 4x GTX295 cause the board not to boot. The "helpful" people at Tyan eventually had this to say.... "Currently the maximum number of GPUs is limited to six GPUs on the S7025. Since the GTX295 are dual GPU cards, you can use a maximum of three GTX295 cards." They obviously forgot to put this 6 GPU limitation in the manual or marketing material. Too busy trumpeting that the board is "best for GPGPU applications."Originally Posted by Otis11
So this week, all I've managed to do is to get that 4th card running in another board, (which I usually use for my desktop machine sans crunching). Still have 4x GTX295's spare which are going to go into the P6T7 (again). At least I do know that you can max the Asus board out with four of them.
I've also noticed this week that my RAC is coming up nicely. My machine at number 2 on the top hosts (currently at 102K) compared to number one spot (currently at 108K). That's interesting because I'm only 6K short of the top spot with 2 less GPU's. The xdrv machine has 4x GTX295's fitted, while my machine only has 3x GTX295. So I'm pleased with that!
I'll try and get another 4x GTX295's online today, but that rather depends on how much time I need to spend on Mum's computer. Dad says it keeps turning off while she is trying to use it. (Which could be as silly as they don't understand the concept of "sleep", or it's overheating and shutting down, or something else more sinister.) I got to deal with that first before I start doing anything else.
