Topic: PCI Card Slot performance

Hi, I've just got a RME HDSPe AIO and I installed it on my 2006 Macpro's 3rd PCI express slot, it shows that I is using link width and the ATI RADEON HD 5770 for example says that is using a x16 width.

¿Will this affect to the performance? ¿or this is enough for low latency software monitoring?

Actually it's giving me 2,8 ms of latency in logic at 64 samples buffer.

Thank you

Re: PCI Card Slot performance

You are confused. Your AIO can and should use only one lane (it has only one lane) the number of lanes has no impact on latency, only on data bandwith and one lane is moooooooore then enough for audio.
