This will bring your CPU to a 16 core / 16 thread CPU. PRO TOOLS just doesn't like the way AMD handles its SMT versus intel. TURN OFF SMT (simultaneous multi-threading) using the AMD software tool. Make sure you install the latest AMD chipset drivers for Threadripper. Again, this was many many hours of frustration in troubleshooting.Ħ. This may depend on size of monitor being used, how many, resolution mode, etc. Again, I don't know the reasoning behind it, but, begrudgingly I switched to an nVidia card and the issues went away.
It seems as if the Radeon graphics cards with the newer builds of Windows and newest Windows 10 drivers have some sort of performance issue with some desktop apps. This tool will allow you to enable / disable cores, SMT, and tune memory performance, plus show voltage and cpu temp (important).ĥ. Use the AMD software Tool to fine-tune threadripper. Besides, 1709 really felt like a half-assed finished build anyway.Ĥ. I am unsure what the direct cause is, but whatever is causing it the 1803 preview builds are much, much quicker on response times on AMD Ryzen / Threadripper systems. 1709 seems as it contains just a horrendous slew of bugs that results in poor performance from Pro Tools (random slowdown issues and such). (I am testing preview build 1803 on a different box).
From my EXTENSIVE testing, Windows 10 build 1703 (2017 Fall Creator's Update) works the best currently. Use a watercooler for Threadripper (air cooler just doesn't cut it)ģ. The latest firmware contains the newest AGESA code to help resolve issues with memory speeds, timings, and CPU issues.Ģ. I realize Pro Tools doesn't officially support AMD hardware at this moment.ġ. For us who have taken the Threadripper 1950x (16 core / 32 thread) plunge with Pro Tools and Windows 10 and have experienced hell, I would like to share my fixes.
