I am a computer animator so I have been hit pretty hard with the ugly end of the stick thanks to miners. Much needed graphics card upgrades will be underway whenever a card is available and I get it before a scalper or miner does. Contrary to what some may think, doing this professionally is time sensitive and for as good as the pay is, hardware is even more expensive, so as badly as I would REALLLY really love to drop 7k making a 3gpu 32 core thread ripper setup, doing it all at once is not super easy. That’s what I figured with external power sources. Yeah I have a 1200watt modular power supply and thankfully can have virtually as many GPUs as there are power outputs on the PSU, and I’m only half used up, so I should have room for 1 or 2 more cards. Now I definitely have a concern as to whether or not it is the best idea. With external power, would that still effect the mobo? I am running 2 GTX 1080tis right now no problem.... could a third card really cause me that much trouble?
