A motherboard compatible with eight GPUs
This board can handle eight GPUs together. You can run multiple GPUs as one system and use it for gaming at 32K resolution. The setup isn't just about gaming—it's about combining the power of eight GPUs into a single machine.
It's unlikely there would be any driver assistance available for it, right?
You can't run a single game across eight GPUs at once. Even back when SLI existed, four SLI setups were the limit for regular GPUs. The only way to have eight GPUs on a low-end board is through USB-to-PCIe riser boards, which are mainly for mining and not for gaming. There are just two x16 slots available.
The board here offers significantly reduced PCIe bandwidth for the cards since mining isn't a priority. Nevertheless, games still function, making this setup unsuitable for gaming despite having a capable CPU—especially if it's a recent Haswell model. If you're planning to extract cards, they lack support for 32K displays, so that's out. Running multiple cards together isn't possible for image generation, which is beyond typical use cases.
Yes, it’s possible. A motherboard with support for four GPUs and a 16K resolution is compatible with high-end games like those running on RTX 2080 SLI or NVidia Quadro.
You're allowed. Only for machine learning, data extraction, or when needed otherwise.
SLI is essentially gone now. It never existed as a viable option, and you can't find any driver support for 16 GPUs in a single setup. A 16K monitor would be impractical for gaming anyway.
You need to realize that SLI is no longer viable, especially the 4x version. Modern game profiles simply don't exist anymore. The highest graphical performance you'll find today will be from 2x SLI 3090 units, but even then it's only marginally superior to a single 3090.
