HDX Card Benefits w/o Digilink I/O Connected?

Hi, I’m waiting on some digilink I/O to arrive but continuing to work with my AES coreaudio interfaces in PT Ultimate. I’ve installed my HDX card, upgraded it’s firmware, and purchased my DigiLink license....is my HDX card doing anything right now (like AAX/DSP plugs) or is it really just sitting idle right now until something gets connected to it and my machine continues to act like a Native box?

Thanks.

Nope. Ya need an interface box so you can make it the playback engine.

You can look at the systems usage meters to see the DSP resources not being used... you may want to have a read about that now to understand the practical DSP and voice resource consumption and how to look at that usage.
