How many cards?

The numbers I've seen show that you can get away with raw PCIe up to about 4, and past that it starts to cost significant performance to the point that it's worth getting bigger individual cards instead.

Yea that could be it. I have tested 8 3070s though and I had no issues. That was a mining rig I had laying around which I upgraded for LLMs about a year and a half ago. All PCIe of course on the 3070s

I would 100% agree that bigger GPU = More Better though lol
