I have an Asus H97-Pro, I want to do some bitcoin mining, but I don't know how many graphics cards it supports.

Well it's got 4 pcie slots although they can be split, that can be troublesome. You'd have to use risers anways for decent gpus. But in any case, other than experimenting, you will lose money not make it with bitcoins. Even without paying for electricity, and running 24/7/365, you'd get maybe $1 in a year with 4 gpus. Gpus are just too weak comparatively. Ether or some other cryptocurrency would be a better choice but you are late and mining is getting harder and less profitable.

Okay thanks for the advice, but I'm mining 2 dollars a day worth of bitcoin on a single 980ti rn. Also I accidentally downvoted your comment because mobile version is very hard to use.

There's no way you are getting $2 a day on a 980ti with btc. You'd need like 2 th/s and 980ti gets around 30mh/s. That's nearly 100,000x weaker. The money you are making lines up with ether not bitcoins.

I don't think you, clutchc, were looking at the wrong mobo. It does only have 2 x16 slots. But mining doesn't need x16 and miners use x1 risers for more gpus.
