I was suggesting to also look into refurbished HP Z800/Z820/Z840
workstations
as a basis for building a multi-GPU plattform.
There is a grain of salt.
Most if not all graphics cards come expecting an additional 2x6pin power
supply,
e.g. 75W from the PCIe slot, plus 75W from each 6pin
It´s good to write things like this, I guess.
A minute later I found the HP part number:
Hewlett Packard 6PIN TO DUAL-6PIN GRAPHICS ADAPTER
F5J05AA
This let´s you split a 6pin connection to 2x6pin.

Similar adapters are available from 3rd party vendors.
I can´t tell how well this would
Splitting the outlet might or might not work out for you.
While it's touted as a feature a large majority of high output PSUs are
multirail because it's generally cheap to provide multiple stable lines
than one large pipe distributed arbitrarily over N cables.
What that boils down to is that if
800W PSU not CPU, though a CPU with an 800W TDP would be interesting to
cool :p

Damn premature sends! If you go molex to 6pin make sure it's with a dual
molex adapter, while good PSUs can deliver a lot more on them, standard
molex spec is 40W, while 6pin is 75W.

Regarding the HPZ820 and the 1100+W PSU, I would have hoped for a
better structured HP homepage, making it easier to find out if splitting
a 6pin into two 6 pin (or 6pin and 6pin+2 for a GTX980) would work
or stress the lane(s) beyond it´s limit.
The HP 8xx´s generally don´t provide dangling
Has anyone considered these machines for multi-GPU applications?

I would configure them here and then purchase from superbiiz.com or
wherever your best pricing is.
I have their servers running for my infrastructure and am quite happy
Your link is to 1 U or 2 U servers, modern gaming GPU will not fit and
based on my past experience they are very loud.
They may have improved the noise level now.

Agreed these are loud but not as bad as they used to be though they are
intended to go in the server room on a rack. In years past I actually
ran 50' cabling for kbd/mouse/video to my desk.
I would suggest

For opening SI|3D files using Softimage 7.5 32bit:
One way would be to use Windows 7´s XP mode and use that 32bit XP
to install Softimage 7.5 32bit (which has the SI|3D scene import option).
Setting that VM´s RAM to ~4GB.
I just did this using the 30 days trial (Standalone mode) of Softimage
I believe it was discussed a few times already, but I'm thinking buying
a 15' Macbook pro with a 750gtx to run Houdini.
A friend has it, and houdini performs really well on that machine.
I'd like to know if SI would work correctly with a windows and Bootcamp.
I never use a Mac before and I'm a
Yes, very well. On various macbook pros over the last 5 years, I've
been running Soft on Bootcamp and Parallels (some viewport shaders
don't work in Parallels, so just switch to bootcamp when needed).
It's not complex to setup or run at all.

Thank you Graham !
Are Bootcamp or Parallels provided with the Mac ? And what windows
version should I buy ? (7 is the less worst I think )

nope just Bootcamp. Parallels is separate but worth being able to open
Soft without re-booting into another OS for quick things. 7 works fine
(may upgrade)

Hey folks,
We are looking for a senior generalist with an emphasis on lighting and
shading. We do most of our lighting and rendering in Softimage currently but
will be looking to transition this to Houdini over the next two years or so.
Our rigging and animation is done in Maya for the most
But the windows and xsi interface is really tiny on the retina display, and
since power management doesn't work well under boot camp, the battery won't
last long, it's just an unpleasant windows experience. It's good for
occasional use of windows but not as a main use.

Hi Olivier,
thanks for the first hand information! That´s impressive.
The Titan Z draws up to/around 350W from it´s combined powersupplies
(PCIe+2x8pin).
Must be fun to GPU render with that card. Also probably 20%-30% cheaper
than 2xTitans.
I found a Tom´s Hardware Article that has info
Hi Luc-Eric,
I couldn´t get Softimage 7.5 32bit to run on win 7 64bit. The install
went through
but Softimage wouldn´t start on my machine, regardless of which
compatibility
options I tried to run it with. Could be I missed something.
Also, the installer didn´t register with Add/Remove
