HDX Upgrade - motherboard + UAD questions
Hi gang,
I'm upgrading my old TDM HD1 rig to an HDX 64 bit. I have: Gigabyte X79-UD3 8 Gb DDR3 UAD PCIe Xeon E5 8 core 1620 3.60 Avid approved nVidia GPU Windows 7 64 Avid Mic Pre, RME, Focusrite Mic Pres HD I/O x 2 Command 8 Will this existing MB handle the HDX? I'm looking at a Gigabyte X99 UD4 and DDR4 ram if it won't. I will keep the Xeon and GPU. Suggestions? Will I be forced to change to Win 10? My existing license will get me to PT 11 HD. Oh, and I will absolutely add more RAM if the X79 card will be kept. Thanks!! |

Not enough RAM.
Min 16Gb but really needs to be 24GB or higher. I/O page gets wonky with less RAM (I don't know why but it was true with 11)

Re: HDX Upgrade - motherboard + UAD questions
With PT 11 HD your looking at WIN7 (Best Bet)
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...tibility-Chart Your card should have no problem running in the X79 board....it should be gravy. I would personally upgrade my CPU....but that's just me. I ran that board (UD5 actually) with a 8 Core E5-2687W chip for quite awhile...and it's a nice chip but I see much more power in the 6th gen i7's. I upgraded my Hard Drive also to a M.2 drive and it's a world of difference. i think most people would be happy with the power of a i7-6850.... just my $0.02.

Re: HDX Upgrade - motherboard + UAD questions
I use that board with HDX (X79-UD3.) But as said, you will need more RAM.

Yep, SSD over HDD for noticeable gains for sure!

Re: HDX Upgrade - motherboard + UAD questions
Yes and M.2 drives are even faster than normal SSD's. A win/win/win
