Description

Cubix Xpander Desktop Elite Gen3 (1600w)

Add 4 single-slot or dual-slot PCIe cards in you host PC or Mac Pro using Xpander Desktop Elite. Connecting Desktop Elite to your 2008-2012 Apple Mac Pro, Linux or Microsoft_® Windows 7 / 8 host computers provide your desktop operators with the ability to support up to four dual-slot GPUs, graphics cards or other third party PCIe cards such as Red Rocket, NVIDIA SDI Capture, and Fusion-io memory cache.

Desktop Elite is an economical way to add GPUs or other PCIe cards to your host computers. Installing the Cubix host interface controller (HIC) in an open PCIe Gen 2 / Gen 3 x16 slot within your host computers assures your operators that they will enjoy up to 128Gbps data (16 lanes at 8Gbps bi-directional) transfer rate to and from the GPUs or other cards you install in Xpander Desktop Elite.

Add four NVIDIA Quadro K4200 / K5200 / M6000, GeForce GTX 980 / TITAN X, Tesla K40, or other PCIe cards to most dual-CPU computers which have an available PCIe expansion slot using Xpander Desktop Elite. Install the HIC in the computer’s open PCIe x16 slot and connect it to Desktop Elite – you have just added four dual-slot or four single-slot, CUDA-capable graphics or HPC I/O cards to your current PC or 2008-2012 Mac Pro without buying a new computer.
