Fstorm on a mining rig

[LTorrecilla]

Hi,

I have the oportunity to buy a really cheap mining rig with 6x1080ti but I'm not sure if the rig itself (motherboard-CPU) will handle 3DS Max and Fstorm, or if it would be possible to use it for the new network rendering option. I already have a good PC to handle the modelling so this second one would be just to render.

- Motherboard: Biostar tb250-btc+
- CPU: Intel Core i3-7100 3.9 GHz
- RAM: 8Gb
- SSD (no idea about size)
- PCIE Riser 16x plus 6xAsus Turbo GTX 1080 Ti

I could replace the CPU and RAM if needed but the rig looks pretty compact and would like to spend much more on it so:
- Would this work as standalone rendering platform?
- Would it work better as network rendering option?
- Has anyone tried something similar?

You need at least 32Gbs of RAM for proper working.

Hi Karba,

What's the maximum number of GPU that have been tested to work under Windows 10?
Thanks!
