Hey guys, I have an old ish motherboard and an i5 4460 with 16gb of ram, I want to get more into mining and I currently have 2 gpus running off that one. I was wondering g if when I wanted to buy more gpus to mine with would I have to buy a brand new Mobo? Or can I just get more risers to put the gpus on? Pretty much what I am asking is do I have to have the same amount of pci slots as I do risers, for example does 2 pci slots = I can only have 2 gpus for mining? Or can I add more gpus with risers? I probably sounded super confusing but thanks to anyone who can help.
 
Solution
Risers or no risers - one pcie slot can support only one graphics card.
If you want to add more gpus than number of available pcie slots, then you have to get a new mobo.
