MrSmith:
Can I see pics of this, if it isn’t too much trouble? Preferably a gif (http://blog.bahraniapps.com/?page_id=21 ) of the 80 stereo tracks running w/ the ASIO meter in view. (Non-gif) Steinberg device setup w/ your buffer, VEP prefs. please.
Perhaps your dual xeon machine loans itself well to VEPs multithreading, more so than my overclocked 3930k, which, from what I’ve gathered, should have equal processing power.
If that’s the case, that is very very good knowledge to have for the community.
I’m actually on a different machine now, but some time next week I’ll get my assistant to sort something out for you. However, doesn’t your machine only have 6 cores, 12 threads, which is half of the number that I have/had?

Thanks DG, I think that will be a big help
That’s correct - PassMark - [Dual CPU] Intel Xeon X5675 @ 3.07GHz - Price performance comparison
Almost identical benches but 2x cores, which I’m sure VEP takes advantage of beautifully compared to the ASIO engine. Although, somehow the two are interconnected when you’re conneted via the VST. Again, not too much concrete information on this topic
Interesting discussion on this, here: https://community.vsl.co.at/forums/p/32919/207730.aspx Looks like their findings mirror my hypothesis.
