Also not much experience with GPU boxes but what I don;t really get is what takes care of rendering with so many GPUs on single CPU?
For example you have single 5960x CPU and 64GB ram. Even with 4 cards I've bin locking down CPU at 100% from time to time and also RAM as well. Talking about computer RAM not GPU RAM. As it works it renders 4 frames at once, each on 1 GPU. I really don;t see much room to add fro example another 4 GPUs in attached GPU box when there is still some work on CPU to be done and RAM requirements for scenes and all to load. How would high end CPU that is already maxed out handle additional load?
