Dears,

just a question. As you know, there are I5 (4-core and up) CPU recommended. Anyone tried XEON E3 CPU?

Yeah... get Cray, better two

Mate, we are constantly talking about reducing CPU. Latest alphas have demonstrated -15-20%, confirmed fully functional and very responsive on arm (under mac and win).

There is no need for xeon for ESDR3, you only may needed if your other stuff chews a lot. There were notes on other forum that problems been observed on e5440, but nothing more than that.

Funny I just a video on the CPU usage with V3

I'll also note even with an older GPU a GeForce GTX 1650 the Load of the GPU with V3 is also low as is network adapter usage

Now this video isn't as clear, since I cannot use OBS to record the GPU as that will screwup the GPU processing percentage, I had to use cell phone. to show the GPU usage

Video settings while using V3 grab of GPU processing as follows

Single GTX 1650 @ 25560X1440 at a refresh rate of 144Hz (Running 2 Monitors)
Spectrum Bandwidth set at 312Khz
RX settings in V3 Filter taps set at MAXIUM configurable value
All options for displaying waterfall and Panadapter are on and operating,
I tried to place as much V3 Graphic load as possible on this test!

System Ryzen 5 5600X locked at 4.2Ghz
3200Mhz 32 GB ram
Asus Tuff X550 Pro (Non-Wi-Fi Model)
Samsung 980 Pro M.2 for OS and applications
Windows 11 Pro 21H2

Network- setup Radio to Business class switch PC to Business Class switch (NOT DIIRECTLY CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER)

So good job @ EE for very low consumption of CPU. GPU and Network usages! :so happy:
