Is there an 8 gpu limit to Boinc and if so can It be raised? I'm slowly building a PC that will have 6 water cooled GTX295 cards in It on an EVGA P55 Classified 200 Motherboard running a 2.66GHz X3450 Xeon cpu with 24GB of ECC/Reg ram under Windows 7 Pro x64 and yes It will have two psus in a Xigmatek Elysium case, the motherboard is able to use a Xeon cpu and It can use up to 32GB of ram.

The current limits are:

- at most 8 *types* of GPUs (NVIDIA, ATI, etc.)
- at most 64 instances of a given type

So If I have a PC with 12 water cooled nvidia GTX295 gpus in It I can crunch with all 12?

Yes, as that's one type with only twelve of the sixty four possible slots filled.
