PCIE to PCIE adapter
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2016 1:31 pm
Hi everyone, Iam a new member here and new Scope user, been reading and watching the forums for a few months, even bought a few cards too decided to finally write something! and "give a lil' something back" to the community!
So recently I tried using a PCIE to PCI adapter, this one-> http://www.virtuavia.eu/shop/pci-expres ... 29855.html
Initially read some mixed reactions, mainly from UAD card users and M-audio Delta users that were using this adapter! Worked for some, did not work for others...
Decided to give it a try myself, and I have to say iam quite surprised that it actually worked, tried on two different computers ( with WIN7 64bit ) one is a older generation i7 on a ASUS PT6e MOBO, another a newer generation i7 4790k on a MSI Gaming3, tried with a Pulsar and a smaller 3dsp lunar2 everything worked fine, however, I find the build quality of the adapter to be quite cheap...the connection from the adapter to the PCIE itself is a bit wobbly... and that was the reason I tried with a older computer first! hard to recommend, but worked, its the only way right now i can have 3 cards together in one system.
Have you had any experiences with these kind of adapters? what worked or did not work for you? Curious to find out
