PCIe to PCI Adapter
Anyone ever had any experience of these? Could they possibly be a way to keep our old PCI cards?

My configuration: Early 2009 8-Core Nehalem Mac Pro OSX 10.6.5 HD3 (PCI-X) cards. Tested with Protools 8.0.4 and 8.1 The Virtuavia PCI-E card is in the second slot in my Mac Pro, adjacent to the video card. PC Case with 24 pin ATX connector, 500 watt PS. The short answer is: It works for me . The cards all pass digitest and all my interfaces show up. I have only opened up a few trivial sessions and they worked fine. I think the largest session had 24 tracks and basically no plugins. If anyone has some suggestions on what might be a good stress test I will give it a shot and report the results. I just got things going last night, so I haven't tried hooking up some of my other related items, like SyncIO and Eleven Rack. I have tested 8.0.4 and 8.1 but only completely stock configuration with no 3rd party plugins. Last edited by tigeba; 01-15-2011 at 08:40 AM. Reason: cleanup |

Re: PCIe to PCI Adapter
Thanks for testing this and letting us know your results!
Look to see what type of PCI bus usage action you see on your meter in PT. Does everything run in "normal typical" PCI bus load (I have mostly around 96 track sessions that run @ about 50% PCI usage with playback engine set to 256 Samples 96 Voices (2DSP) on my PT9HD PC). Also do a session with as many tracks as your HDD can handle to see if PCI bus will come clogged or not. Also check with live input if you can tell if there is added latency to the system. So if all these things check out well then why not use it! |
