US$189 AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Box (16Gbps-TB2)
tamer1009 replied to Tech Inferno Fan's topic in Enclosures and Adapters
Hey, I recently received the Thunder2, and I really like the quality and build of this case. Would it be possible to implement the GTX970? I got my eye on the Asus GTX970-DCMOC-4GD5 which is just 170mm long. However it requires 8-pins power connection. Do you think it's possible to get a better power adapter for the Thunder2, and solder an 8-pins connection in the case? How much watt power adapter do I require? Thanks for the advice. -
goalque, It should still be max X4. The benchmark results MUST be incorrect. Practically, and theoretically it can be x4 max. Even with bridges, the resultst should be the same. Because bandwidth is still going through one TB2 connection. Only with two TB2 connections you should be able to get better performance. Or am I stupid?

That looks good, but I have some questions. Do you have any comparison of one GPU versus two GPU in CrossFire? Because normally both GPU support X16 lanes of bandwidth, Thunderbolt 2 only offers X4 bandwidth, so the bandwidth of the first card is downgraded from X16 to X4. Then your second card, runs on X1? Is this even possible? I'm very curious about the comparison as I said above. Otherwise, would it be possible to use two Thunderbolt connections, and two Netstors/or whatever. And then CrossFire them together, so you will have 2x X4 bandwidth, right? I'm just throwing my thoughts
