Hyperthreading

I've seen numerous posts that suggest hyperthreading should be disabled for better Vegas Pro performance. This makes no sense to me; however, I admit that may be due to lack of understanding.
In this topic, if you have information and insight about how Vegas Pro uses threads versus how it uses cores, please share. If you have benchmarks regarding hyperthreading on/off, please share. If you can explain why hyperthreading should be on or off for Vegas Pro performance enhancement, please share.
Thanks!

Makes no sense to me either. Sounds like urban myth.

Search this forum for "multithreaded" and look for explanations by "astar."

And what do your own tests say?

In my own renderings, monitoring all the threads/cores via Windows 10 Task Manager, all the resources of my 6th-gen Core-i7 hexa-core CPU seem to be engaged. (And my VCE 2.0 capable R9-390 GPU engages when selected, as well.)

Mine too and I've certainly never disengaged hyper threading.

But you have not tested it without Hyperthreading. Anyways, in another threat user @gpasko shows that there is improvement on his system.
