It goes without saying that your graphics card is one of the most important components that you need especially for a smooth and seamless PC performance. Especially for gaming and mining, you need to look for more than an average GPU that can help the PC process the graphics easily.<\/p>\n
However, what most people want to know is how many GPUs can motherboard support? Today this is what we’ll be talking about. From how many GPUs can motherboard support to how to check if the GPU is compatible with the motherboard,<\/a> we’ll be exploring all the answers to these questions based on facts.<\/p>\n\n The fact is that the graphics card is responsible for the real work but when it comes to a motherboard, on average it can support six GPUs or more depending on the PCIe slots. In other words, for every extra six GPUs, you’ll have to add another CPU, memory, storage, and a motherboard. It all depends on the motherboard you are using. As of now, there are motherboards out there that can support six, seven, or 12 graphics cards. In fact, Asus just introduced a motherboard that can support<\/strong> 20 graphics cards <\/strong><\/a>and it’s best suitable for mining.<\/p>\n Technically this can work and you can put 2 graphics cards on any multiple GPU motherboard. However, if you are planning to use two different GPUs to link them together to form a GPU array then this, unfortunately, won’t work. If the GPUs are different, they’ll function independently.<\/p>\n For dual graphic cards, your PC needs Nvidia or AMD technology. These technologies are of utmost importance as they link the card in order to produce a single output. The Nvidia solution goes by the name “SLI” and the AMD solution is known as “CrossFire”. Now for both the solutions you first need to have a compatible motherboard that comes with the necessary PCI slots for GPUs.<\/p>\nHow Many GPUs Can A Motherboard Support? <\/strong><\/h2>\n
