Hi all,
I'm planning on building a second vMix system, the first is an Omen driven laptop and I have to say works like a charm. But the use of thunderbolt connector between the laptop and the cards is a potential risk with a small unsecured plug... I'd rather have a desktop vMix solution to bring on bigger gigs.
So here we are : I've seen a lot of Z390 motherboards which have 2 or 3 PCI slots, how could you fit 3 or 4 deckling cards ? (plus the GPU)
If I need a 10G ethernet I'll probably have to go for a network card which will fit another slot.
And I've heard Ryzen CPUs are faster (especially with multithreading) and cheaper. But do they work well with vMix ?
I'll probably have a couple of other questions later, but let's start with that ;)
Thanks all and have a great Xmas time !

you have to check how many lanes are on the PCI Bus each decklink needs their own lanes also the GPU (I'm not sure at the moment how many for the Decklink and for the GPU)
