Just curious if anyone here has tested a afterburner card in a cMP and if it was working? Seems like a normal PCIe card.
Got a tip for us?

Afterburner is a normal PCIe card, while the I/O isn't, but it can even fit length wise inside a MacPro5,1?

Interesting question @ssj92 and (as always) good answer @tsialex .
Out of curiosity I tried to find the dimensions for the Afterburner card, but could not find them online. If anyone knows them, please post. Would be good to know. You never know, once used Afterburner cards get cheaper... they might be a nice addition to the cMP (for specific workflows, of course)!

Thanks.
And I tried to find the MPX modules dimensions, failed to find those online too! Maybe it's DuckDuckGo that's failing me (or just plain me failing, of course).
I even skimmed through the 7,1 Service Technician Manual and could not find MPX nor Afternurner dimensions info.
I trust you though, @tsialex! Always did/do/will! 🙂
Just looked up some eBay listings. Same length as MPX module. I ask an eBay seller if they can measure length as I'm curious how long it is. Other two dimensions are not an issue.
