How common is DPC Latency when using an Nvidia GPU, and AMD CPU?

I'm building a PC for music production, and was planning on running a AMD 9950x CPU, alongside a Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB GPU, and ASUS X870E Creator motherboard. Plus 128GB RAM and good SSD storage.
I will be using Ableton and recording with 1-2 microphones at a time. Maybe sometimes up to 3 or 4.
I am hearing about DPC Latency when combining a NVidia GPU with an AMD CPU.
Though I'm not sure if this is a rare occurance... and worth the risk of getting a NVidia GPU.
... Or if it's a near-certainty it will happen, and I should definitely go with the Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU?
(I am trying to build the PC for quietness, and hear the Gigabyte 5060 Ti is quieter. I was hoping to go with that one for it's performance, and quietness... but just not sure how big of an issue DPC Latency will be down the line).

7950X + GTX1070 = no problems. at. all. in audio.
Your mileage may vary. This is old card.

Some work stuff I do requires a GPU. CAD etc. Might also be running local LLM models in the future (not music related)koalaboy wrote: Wed Jul 23, 2025 8:27 am If you're building purely for music production, why a gaming GPU ?

I got slightly reduced DPC latency when going from a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti to a Radeon RX 9070 XT. However the DPC was very low with the Nvidia card too, nowhere near enough to cause any issues.
Take a single oscillator, producing a drone. Send it to the wave shaper, altering the tone.
This can be a triangle, Sawtooth or a square. Modulate the pulse width, nobody will care

To achieve the lowest DPC as possible, check
