macattackjack Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I have just built a socket 1151 with a GigaByte z390 M gaming motherboard, i9 9900k, with 16 GB of Ram Used the build from an Asus Rampage IV Gene, only updated the Clover build to the latest version, added slide=0 to the boot args, but otherwise kept everything else the same. When I use the main app I need, Pro Tools, with their own card on the Asus MB with a 3820 4 core i7, the cpu meter shows 4 percent while playing tracks The except same pro tools file, on the i9 9900k build, shows 15 percent in the CPU meter. I know from using Pro Tools with different audio cards that the CPU meter shows different levels. For example a card from a different manufacturer will show 20 percent. But in this case, both motherboards have the same card, and yet the Pro tools cpu meter shows different values. The Gigabyte board has a faster cpu, and in Geekbench shows 13k for the i7 3820, and 35k for the 9900k. So the CPU load should be way lower for the gigabyte board, but it's not. Has anyone heard of there being a difference between motherboard PCI implementation, or efficiency? It's really frustrating, because I expect this to be faster, and spent the money for that reason, and it's not. Everything else works OOB for this build, USB ports, sleep, shutdown, etc. changing the PCI settings on the board makes no difference with the PCI card performance. Clover_v2.5k_r5103. Whenevergreen, lilu, etc. all the lastest versions as of last week. Any thoughts for a frustrated, and now poorer for nothing, Hack owner?config.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/342471-pcie-efficiency-between-different-mb-makers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
