here is mine.
I agree that we might compare different things.
A soon as I record enable one track, my realtime performance hits 100%.
mine:
An Asus Maximus X Code with an i7 8700 Turbo mode is 4.6 GHz with 16 GB a Edirol M-16DX USB digital audio interface using ASIO.
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
A Cooler Master Case and a Cooler Master CPU Cooler.
MIne was running. No record enabled. WIthout record enabled I could go up to 96. With one record enabled I had to used 256 samples but I was quite slow. With 128 samples the limit is 48 tracks with one record enable.
Best I can manage at 128 buffer with a few record enabled
I’m hitting the real time processing limit before a machine power limit
This is as I would expect
I7 6800k 6 core 12 thread with Steinberg UR44
As I seldom ever record more than a couple of tracks at a time on this rig this state does not arise for me in practice

its a mystery to me how come same project runs very differently on systems with exact same CPU and GHZ.
could it be the motherboard and/or memory ?
at what sample rate and buffer size did you test it at ?
so far, JohnfromSonar’s and "cubace’s results are the most impressive ones,
I have i7-8700k also (at4.9ghz) and my cubase performance isnt even close to yours
way too many variables here to make this in any way useful
things that make major difference:
32/64 bit processing precision
asio guard on - rec enabled on the first track
play or stop
you can tell people have changed thing as the project opens up with the first track set to a much wider view
here’s mine with 32bit processing precision
128 samples buffer (rme raydat) but 32 samples isn’t much different
8086k clocked to 5ghz (hyperthreading OFF)
asio guard ON and rec NOT enabled on 1st track
in play cpu load is pretty high but I’ve only got 6 core - with 64 bit processing precision on and in play it totally maxes the cpu.
so you have to be careful to draw meaningful conclusions from this test
strange thing tho.
whether I have buffer set to 32 or 2048,
the ASIO performance meter is pretty much the same,
while CPU usage in task manager changes almost in half
