Hi

I have a mac pro 5,1 12 core machine.

currently running gtx 120 (Boot Screen)
and 780 ti (Octane render)

I don't use the 780ti for anything other than its cuda cores to render images.
i have a large project coming up and i am wondering if i could run the following ?

i just need my mac to recognise they are there

pcie slot 4: GTX 120 (Boot screen if the 980 isn't ready)
pcie slot 3: 4x to 16x riser - GTX 970 or GTX 980 macvidcards. (when its done)
pcie slot 2: 16x to dual 8x ribbon - Dual GTX 970
pcie slot 1: 16x to dual 8x ribbon - Dual GTX 780ti

basicially i don't need to be attaching cords into them. they would be just there to feed octane render.

In the mining forums which they use cuda aswell they only get 5-10% reduction in performance running similar setups on PC so just curios if this will work on a MAC and if not what is the Maximum?

PS. I know about power supply this is not the question i am asking...

A mp 2007 with 2 titans performed equal to a 2010 mp with less bandwidth (1/4 with 8 lines pci v1) in octane
