Default HDX/Ultimate on I7

Are people running Ultimate on an HDX card with I7 processors? The requirements say: "Pro Tools | Ultimate - Intel® Core i9 or Intel® Xeon processor" but in another section it says "Protools 2021.7 Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise/Home on i7/i9 processors.

Any advice appreciated as I want to use a computer with I7 5960x 8Core on an ASUS X99-A.

Thank you.

It will probably be fine, but I would switch to a Gigabyte motherboard. I would also at least do some comparisons with similarly priced Xeon and i9 cpu's(which you may have already done)

Aha! Since you already have it, just dive in and see what happens

I have a old DAW with this processor. I7 5960x 8Core

I will just say it's not fast enough for my current mixes. I think you are going to want to upgrade but that would be completely dependent on your needs.

I would say upgrade your mobo and CPU as well. The performance gains I got going from a 4930K to my current 10850K system was well worth the build.
