VCL-Cluster vs PCI Express Splitter solution

[john99]

Hello,

I am contemplating about a VCL-Cluster vs PCI Express Splitter solution for about 8 7970 GPU.

The VCL is probably more scalable meanwhile the PCI Express Slitter solution seems to be much cheaper.


Are there other important things to consider?


Thank's a lot for any feedback/help!

John
