I don't know, my motherboard is ASUS x299 TUF MARK 1 LGA 2066.
I unfortunately can't found anything but it seems to me there is no usb port with a direct lane with the cpu but i may be wrong..

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

I have dual - firewire and usb - audio interface Motu Track 16. Use it through firewire 400 and pcie card with good Texas Instrument compononents and through usb 2.0 (connected direct to the motherboard usb [not hub]). Apart from differences in dsp usage, perceived stability, ease of use, I haven't...

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

round trip latency has more to do with the quality of the drivers than the interface format at this point. some companies have the resources to write stable proprietary low latency drivers for windows and mac, most don't and will resort to class compliant drivers which are good enough for most appl...

I mainly make music for myself, my family and my friends. Having a nice studio with (at least) usable acous...

So unless your mixes are going to be played at bars or gigs etc with big audio systems, i dont see too much of a point obsessing over the mix.
At bars and gigs most people get drunk anyways so it's certainly not at those places where people are going to judge a mix :mrgreen:

Noticed same thing happening with motherboards not being certified W11.. marketing bs.. You can't live or own things the way you want anymore, the system is dictating what you'll own and not. Guess that's why originality is long gone :? If W11 uses more cpu ressources than W10 i see no need to upg.....

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

I would opt for a new audio interface, and a silent pc, so you do not need any long cables anymore, and go to win11 right away. Firewire is obsolete anyway, why invest time and effort in it? Depending on your needs start with a Babyface, and maybe later add an ADAT interface later. And why AMD, per...

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

I think it's unlikely for an USB audio interface to take real advantage of the USB CPU lanes as most of those are still USB2 internally and don't really have a means to use the additional bandwidth USB3 has to offer. I get your point but I was not refering to the usb3 bandwidth capability because i...

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

DMA is standard tech for the PCI bus and most PCI cards should be able to use it. Of course it depends on the driver. Asking the manufacturer of the interface for details could give you the answer. In general I'd expect pro audio interface manufacturers to use DMA via firewire for low latency. I'm ...

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

With DMA the firewire peripheral (=audio interface) can directly write it's sample buffer into the RAM and also read from there while the CPU is doing other tasks (like rendering the next batch) so the latency can be really low as memory access from the CPU is also very fast. Is this DMA feature st...

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

As PCIe allows for DMA transfers the additional controllers can be bypassed if the driver makes use of it. So it can be very fast and low latency as well. I'd simply give it a try and see if there's an actual problem. Pcie x1 communicate directly through the chipset, how can it be bypassed ? There ...

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

Yes i've read numerous times that RME have excellent latency and most stable drivers but you got to put money on the table. But this is another topic and it doesn't resolve the calculus we got here. Because let say even with an RME interface and use of a generic usb port controlled by the chipset, w...

Re: Audio interface : Firewire pcie ( chipset ) vs usb port ( cpu ). Which will give lower latency ?

At all it has nothing to do with a shorter circuity, it´s a thing of the bus connection at all and ram speed latency, maybee take a look at the rme forum it´s really helpfull. I'll check. More importantly there is the additional controllers. The chipset and the firewire pcie card are in between the...

Never really had any problem with the 23ft ( 7M ) firewire cable lenght. For a firewire cable this length is still very acceptable i guess.
