how to check if a motherboard support Multiple-GPU?

I'll be working on a research project with the integrated use of multiple GPUs. I'm thinking of setting up a Desktop with multiple GPU first.

I currently have a MSI P55 CD53 motherboard, with Intel I5-570 CPU and Nvidia GTS 250 GPU. I want to buy at least another 2 Nvidia Graphic Card to add to my existing desktop.

Is there any resource I can lookup, so that I can know if it's feasible to do, and what Graphic Card I should buy?

Thanks a lot.

Solution

  • The specification you linked indicates:

    • 1 PCI Express gen2 x16 slots

    That means it can only accommodate one PCI Express GPU at a time. So it's not feasible to run more than one GPU on that motherboard.

    Questions like this are probably better suited to other forums like superuser.
