Overiew of Cubix GPU-Xpander Desktop 2 with 8 PCIe Channels and 2 double-wide slots - Retail
GPU-Xpander allows you to convert your desktop tower computer into a
workstation with multiple adapters and controllers, including high-end,
3D graphics, audio and other multi-port IO adapters such as FireWire,
USB 2.0 or Gbps Ethernet for thousands of dollars less per seat than
buying a specialized, overpriced GPU-enabled PC.
Use your
favorite “slot and watt limited” PC – Dell®, HP®, IBM®, white box – to
tackle HPC and/or graphical rendering projects. It takes only a few
minutes to supercharge your PC by adding a GPU-Xpander to make
scientific calculations or graphical rendering lightning fast.
GPU-Xpander
provides an independent life support system with its own power and
cooling dedicated to the GPU or GPUs themselves. GPU-Xpander is a PCI
Express bus extender, so you don’t tax your existing PC’s cooling
capability, power supply, or violate its warranty by operating it beyond
its specifications.
You
need GPU-Xpander if the hardware and software combination you intend to
use runs in your computer but causes over-current or overheating
problems. GPU-Xpander is a hardware-only solution: no software required.
GPU-Xpander provides its own power supply and cooling; it requires no
power from the host computer. Simply plug the host adapter in your
computer's PCIe slot, connect GPU-Xpander, power up and install device
drivers.
