Update: I got a new UEFI from ASRock (3.64L) which finally allows both GTX1080's to work under Windows 10! I have been using the system for 2 days now and appears to be rock solid. Now solving the Vt-d issue under Linux is all that remains - I posted on the NVidia Linux driver forum, let's see...
Nope, it's not a power delivery problem nor a signal problem - I am able to run caffe (or folding@home) under Linux for hours with both GTX1080 GPUs pegged at 100%, and the CPU too ;-). Am using the Amerirack PCie v3 version of their x8x8 riser - the only one that works as far as I can tell...

Wrt the bios, I needed it because once I switched over to a 6800k from...
Hi all,
I have been a long time reader (lurker) here and in other related fora - and have spent enormous amount of time on a very similar project inspired by this thread: ASRock x99e-itx/ac + 2x GTX1080's (butchered into single-slot cards and crammed in an NCase with the EKWB Predator 240...
Hi guys, long time lurker here too. Asrock just provided me with firmware 1.50a which basically enables PCIe bifurcation (together with 16GB UDIMM support) so I was able to play around testing the amerirack v3 splitter chemist_slime has been talking about earlier in the thread. Only spent a...
