AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

Are there any MOBOs that support this with a single PCI or is PCI a bottleneck in the modern day?

PCI is obsolete, but you may be able to find a motherboard that supports it. i would guess that the latest boards will not have any PCI slots, unless they are a commercial server board.

Ok thks Gary. I have the MSI one to keep my pci alive. I still think the Scope DSP sound quality is great. A shame it can’t solely by used for that on modern boards. They look so so fast and efficient now. DSP still has it’s benefits

You can still find mobo with pci, but they are industrial boards, while the 3900x is consumer line.
At work we just bought boards with Xeons and 2 pci slots. ( You even could still buy ISAslots these days !)

Can they compete with these CPUs though? I will never give up scope but the x54 bit O/S has its limits with old sets.

I don't know you CPU reqirements, but at work we have a 4* Xeon (each at 4Ghz) mainboard with PCI, which is sold to industrial customers only.

There are also companies that offer cheaper industrial mainboards like this:

Here's an old board, which has two PCI and will run 3900X with BIOS update 4801. ( I own one of these with an 2700X)
https://www.asus.com/de/Motherboards-Co ... ME-X370-A/

My music PCs are 10 years old, and I optimised them to low latency, disabled all that Win10-shit. I never reached the CPU limit with my DAWs, Scope.

Wow that looks ideal for Scope pulsar PCI 2. Thanks for the pointer.
