thx for your support p337miner!

unfortunately one of my new graphic cards is broken. Therefore I cannot test it atm, because the other 5 cards are finding a lot of shares and I don't want to quit the miner xD

do you know how many cards are usable atm? is the limit still 8 or is it now possible to connect more? I was reading that windows has a limit of 8 at all and especially a maximum of 8 cards of the same model.
if I would like to connect more I have to use linux. is this correct so far?
Why I am asking:
I bought today a pic-e 1x to 4x riser card... xD it would be nice to get it up and running. the m.2 slot is unfortunately only for another ssd and cannot be used as a pci-e slot.


I've read a lot of posts about a hard limit of 5 gpus no matter what with a variety of mobos that are 6+ pcie. Apparently, the new Windows update gets rid of that? You may have to try linux. Most posts I've read said they had to use Linux to get 6 recognised if you have a spare rig or time I'd try it out, but you're right leave the 5 hashing imo.

Uninstalling and installing drivers really takes a long time. Are you RMA-ing the GPU and if you don't mind me asking what model and brand is the GPU?
