Myltigpu is alive, well, and more effective than ever.

Lossless scaling across 2 8x slots rocks.

Asus m.2 add in risers would like a word ala Gene X670E.

Bifurcation is done on the CPU.

Asus 5.0 Hyper M.2 with yield 4x4x4x4 in a board that is setup for bifurcation of PCIE slot 1 like that.

I have run 4 GPUs this way and it works very well.

Cute but that's not how it works.

The singaling is double the transfers but the bandwidth does not double.

We've seen what ... 5 ... itterations now and people still get this wrong.

The doubling of transfers comes at the cost of latency and processing overhead, always, until the new standard matures and might match the predecessor latency.

Did dual channel DDR5 double dual channel DDR4 bandwidth? Short answer ... nope, not even close, and DDR4 4000 remains viable and trades blows with DDR5 to this day in application performance despite "losing" in sulunthetics.

Low being relative.

6000 C28 at 256GB using 4x64 is not at all on the bandwidth high end these days, but it's way more than DDR4 could provide.

Most boards support 4x64 at 5600+ now, some go to 6400 with it if you tune voltages and terminations. .
