Indeed. If you have anything other than the base AMD Radeon Pro 580X then slot 2 for HDX1 would be blocked by a double wide graphics card in slot 1!

Another data point: clearly, if Avid plan to support HDX6, then the cards should work in any slot (except for the I/O slot, of course).

For Mac Pro 7,1 users:
Anyone noticing stuttering playback when playing off the internal SSD, either previewing audio files in Workspace or when previewing audio files in the Finder? I find I need to click, then re-click for it to play properly.

Almost as though the drives are too fast and they need a second nudge to collect their thoughts...

10.15.4 apparently has some problems with bulk disk reads (google for more info) but not sure if that's related...

Yes ... sadly our two new 7.1 28core MP’s are just sitting here not installed fully yet as we noticed that our Two 12 core trashcans with Mojave and HS are working much better as of now with 2020.3 so thats a bit concerning. Live10Suite Smokes on the new 7.1’s and so does LogicX but PTU ... well not yet.

Hey Corp, I’m ordering mine on Monday. When did you order yours? Did they give you an estimate for delivery?

Any documentation on where to connect the Belkin power cable to HDX card and on to the Mac Pro 7,1 power supply?
Thanks!

Default Re: New Mac Pro (7.1)

Just got mine yesterday
SO far my HDX card is not recognize in the system
I have the card in slot 5 as the power connector I have only works in the 6 pin slot of the Mac
The Slot recommended by Avid (1) has a 8 pin power connection
I have order the Belkin cables to try it next
Meanwhile I'm updating Catalina in case it a fix
I'm also going to try reverting the card to my Sonnet Xpress thunderbolt3 to see if that works but would defeat the purpose of having everything inside one box.
Also thinking of restarting the process from scratch (ie:wiping the new system )as I have migrated my system from a Mojave setup
Cheers
Francois
