SLI bridge isn't on all of them, and what motherboard has 8 PCI-E x16 slots? This has to be a clever forgery.

I don't know, those look like dual-gpu cards to me and Skulltrail supports 4 x16 pci-e slots.

But as that looks like a Gigabyte board it's a hoax in my opinion. G'byte haven't released a quad full-bandwidth capable pci-e slot board yet.

But still, what driver will allow octa to work to it's potential and what cpu will keep up with 8 gpu's?

You can see it's actually only 4 cards, just each card is a double, you can tell because of the number of power sockets, the screw things holding them in twos and the metal part that you screw onto the back of the case, there are only 4 of those, so if it is real, they were made as 4 cards

Surprised a dual-GPU card would only take one PCI-E power connector. Even the Ultras take 2.
