Trying to ascertain which motherboards/CPU's work well in T3 with more than 2 cores enabled. Most of the time we hear from people who's performance/stability goes haywire unless the number of usable cores is reduced to 2 in t3. However, for some it's okay with more than 2. This seems to be machine and architecture-dependent.

It would be useful to the community (and to me!) to know which >2 core architectures t3 seems to like and which it doesn't.

If you are running t3 on a machine with more than 2 cores, please answer the following questions one by one:

1. What is your motherboard chipset and CPU? (no motherboard model numbers or brands, _please_). If a Mac, please just state model of mac.
2. Can you enable more than 2 cores in T3 without loss of performance or stability? If so, does the performance increase? (please note that t3 assigns each track to one of the available cores - so a 4-track project with effects on each track would be the minimum to test a quad-core setup)
3. Do you mostly do wav audio projects or softsynth projects?
4. What OS and service pack are you running?

Thanks to all-
M

Did you try it with 4 vs 2 cores enabled?

No worries - you just mentioned comparing against 1 core not 2, so thought I would check.

Also, are you mainly using vsti's or are you using recorded audio tracks?
