So where are we w/ X399, Threadripper and CrossFire

So Vega is finally here !!
X399 Threadripper w/ 64PCIe lanes is here !!
I can’t wait to see somebody drop 3 Vegas and see how well they scale.
Maybe with some horse trading or borowing, 3 Vega cards could be accumulated for a day.
I wonder if you could drop in a Frontier Edition if somebody had one? Is that even possible??

I read that AMD is not promoting CrossFire but they are still a supporting it.
I’m just dying to know if it scales, especially now with all the PCIe lanes

And how does that work w/ Linix and a VM version of Windows?
This would make a great video for L1Techs.

We are part way there, I think it is a 56 and a 64 on x299.
Edit the tower on the far right looks like it has a MSI X399 GAMING PRO CARBON in it… maybe some testing on both.

Same question here

I Think both AMD and Nvidia want to kill MultiGPU support on their part and left the issue to the Devs, From personal experience, MultiGPU its almost all the time a waste of money and power anyways.

Pretty sure they’re using the X399.
Now somebody’s just gotta drop a Frontier Edition in there for the Hat Trick.
That would be a hell of a lot of compute power with all the bandwidth.

It will and does still scale poorly.

A PCIE 3.0 X8 connection isn’t bottlenecking anything to a significant degree.

Crossfire is pretty terrible and adding more PCIE lanes won’t help it

Also

I hope you have a portable nuclear reactor to power that

At least the one in the picture is a x299, the ASUS ROG STRIX X299-E GAMING LGA2066 The X399 ROG doesn’t have the ROG on it under the cpu socket.
