Re: HDX PT 2018 CPU Spikes AAE -9171 Halts Playback
I tried testing in various video modes. . . such as DVI only on 20" monitor, DP only on 34", HDMI on 34", HDMI on 34" at half resolution. I did not perceive any difference and simple test session halted within a few minutes of running with 128 buffer.
I uninstalled the Avid Application Manager, and it seems to have made a slight difference. . . so far the test has run 54 minutes, but my system's performance and CPU spikes/Pro Tools Halts, have been inconsistent (like the weather), so hard to know just yet. I will run a bunch of tests. . . The center loading of the cores is still happening, and the CPU Total, is still jumping around a lot, which does not happen in my Pro Tools 10 (Mountain Lion) with HDX. |

Re: HDX PT 2018 CPU Spikes AAE -9171 Halts Playback
Howard, I am now test running a PCIe M.2 SSD blade running 10.12.6 Sierra and have just reinstalled PT Ultimate 2018.12 with all my plugs and had zero, I repeat zero problems today.

I hope it keeps working well for you!
Which PCIe card for the SSD blade? |

Re: HDX PT 2018 CPU Spikes AAE -9171 Halts Playback
Wolftech Pulsecard - PCIe 3.0 x4 adapter. The blade I'm running is the 256GB Samsing SM951 AHCI.

Is there anything else we've missed here with your setup? I'm sure there's something simple that's a quick fix. If it works here with my computer with the same setup there's got to be a way to get yours working. Best, James

The centre loading of the cores that I am seeing on my system seems to be what puts it over the top. I have been trying different test sessions, and I am finding that same issue. Plus the results are inconsistent. Sometimes it will have in 2/3/5 or 10 minutes before a Halt, and then sometimes it will go the full 2 hour test a couple times in a row without a halt. I have had tests successful with a 64 buffer for the full two hours, and had 512 halt. . . I can't see a causation or any pattern. I would love to be able to try my test session on other computers, to see how they do and how the CPU core loading looks. I am going to do a fresh install on a different SSD drive one more time. |

Send your test session over (PM me) and tell me the parameters

Re: HDX PT 2018 CPU Spikes AAE -9171 Halts Playback
Ok, this may be promising. . . I was reading another thread it was suggested to someone else they just try running without the Pro Tools edit window displayed. . . so I did and the Total CPU meter spikes greatly reduce as soon as I close that window and the spikes come back as soon as the Edit Window is opened again.
I had tried my system on a smaller monitor, as well as different connections (HDMI, DP, and DVI), but did not notice an appreciable difference in CPU spikes on the meter, but I did have the Edit Window open in all cases (as I did with my PT 10 testing with HDX card and PT 10 did not show CPU Spikes). I will run some more test rounds with the Edit/Mix windows closed. Hoping all I need is a better video card, which I was hoping to upgrade for performance and be ready for Mojave in the future. . . but nothing local I can try. . . is there a clear winner for graphics card upgrade (would like to retain option to select startup disk, not exceed power supply)?

Re: HDX PT 2018 CPU Spikes AAE -9171 Halts Playback
This one will definitely work out the box
https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sapphire/100352MAC2/ Can be tricky to come by though. This one is in the UK https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Radeon-HD...28.m4335.l8656 But may also not have the right outputs for you. I know you’ve already contacted macvidcards without success, but try again. My graphics card was flashed to show the grey boot screen by a guy in Poland who is a subsidiary of macvidcards.
