Don't tease use like that Ben!
My main FM9 preset was 79% and it's now about 73%...How huge we talkin? Cause so far, every new FW increases CPU usage, so that'd be nice to have it somewhere back at least where it used to be lol.
The CPU will bounce up and down as they add new features then implement optimizations. Thatās what weāve seen over time.How huge we talkin? Cause so far, every new FW increases CPU usage, so that'd be nice to have it somewhere back at least where it used to be lol.
Thatās what I am thinking too. A lot more horsepower under the hood in the 9 and this is only the first major update and is still in Beta. But then, never take your eye off the ball with Fractal. We shall see.FM9 has a very different processing architecture so donāt get too crazy with the cheese wiz.
Iām not sure if āvery differentā is the appropriate way to look at it. Itās not so much different as it is āmoreā of the same. I agree that could be an aspect to consider, but I doubt it will discount it for the FM3. If it was just a matter of horsepower why was there an increase on the FM9 in the first place? Anyway, never had any cheese wiz at the ready to begin with.FM9 has a very different processing architecture so donāt get too crazy with the cheese wiz.

The FM3 uses 1 dedicated core for Amp and Delay. The FM9 has dedicated cores for each of Amp, Reverb and Delay.I recall reading that it is different. For instance, if the FM3 has one processor dedicated to sharing Amp and Reverb, the FM9 has a processor dedicated to Reverb only. Or something like that.

The point is the processors are the same architecture. How the different processing jobs are distributed IMO still falls within the realm of āmoreā instead of ādifferentā. Yes they dedicate reverb, but the question is whether that is what caused the CPU increase in the new F/W and the implementation of the CNFB algorithm. I have no problem accepting itās splitting hairs and I have no idea (like just about everyone else) what is really the situation. I just donāt think there is any reason not to expect that the FM3 wonāt see improvement if indeed the FM9 has seen CPU usage improvements. Ultimately my comments were in response to the seeming certainty in which comments to the negative were made.I recall reading that it is different. For instance, if the FM3 has one processor dedicated to sharing Amp and Reverb, the FM9 has a processor dedicated to Reverb only. Or something like that.
I have to state that I wrote the previous comment before looking and realizing the official 5.02 F/W was released. LOL!! So yes, it was pretty much wasted effort. I will have to update tomorrow and see how it is.Yeah I'd love it too. And yes FAS has a track record of providing improvements where possible. I'm just saying the FM9 just had the biggest update I've ever seen in my 8 years or whatever of fractal products. It took months to release.
And in my opinion it's more likely that the FM9 had FM9 specific improvements. Especially now that the FM3 got CNFB yesterday with minor changes to CPU (some up some down).
I remember playing this what if game with the AX8 years ago, and it's just wasted effort...FAS will do right, even if that means there's nothing to do.
After over a year of my non-playing wife watching You Tube videos with me from G66, Leon Todd, etc. She says, "Why didn't you just get the III instead of the FM3. You play at your desk in your office and wouldn't it be better just to have that sitting beside you?"This is counter to the conspiracy theory that Fractal is trying to slowly force everyone to buy a III though.
Your wife is wise! Tell her you need both Fm3 & III.After over a year of my non-playing wife watching You Tube videos with me from G66, Leon Todd, etc. She says, "Why didn't you just get the III instead of the FM3.

I think FAS Conspiracy has got to my wife...and I like it!
