It would be great for any people who have PC or Mac systems and OS versions that they find work problem free with Cubase 11. I post this to help us in future system buying decisions.
I understand there are no guarantees, but I believe a list from users who have found their systems to work well would be a great help to everyone.
So, models processors, GPUs, monitors and OS versions. I would say over all makes / models that perform without any crash, latency issue and freeze free would be a great help.
If you would like to add your system’s info, use this format:
Brand & model:
CPU:
GPU:
OS:
Audio Interface:
Monitor(s) (if applicable)
Extra details (ie, upgrades, customization)
Thanks to everyone in advance for your information.
Hi, Friede here. I’d like to contribute:
Brand & model: PC
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
OS: Windows 10 Home 21H1 (build 19043.1288)
Audio Interface: Focusrite Clarett 8pre usb & Steinberg UR44 & Steinberg UR242
Monitors: Samsung 4k 32" & Samsung 1080p 27"
Extra details: 64GB RAM
Runs perfectly stable. Only issue (except from some minor confirmed Cubase UI bugs) was a thing with some activated antialiasing options in the GTX-gaming-driver resulting in weird graphic glitches. After deactivating them it never happened again, after switching to the GTX-studio-driver I even could activate those options again without any further problems.

Steve here, my system runs smoothly, though I would not call this laptop a powerhouse.
Brand & model: HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-ch0xx, 2018
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
Memory 16gb
GPU: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620
OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Version: 22000.282
Audio Interface: Steinberg UR44-C
Monitor(s) (if applicable)
Extra details (ie, upgrades, customization)
Works very smoothly, this is a powerful laptop for its age. I do low-ish track count composition (up to 20 inst/midi/audio tracks max) using Kontakt, Halion, Iconica Sections and Players

Audio/MIDI interface : RME Fireface UCX (USB2) + Behringer ADA8200 (Toslink)
Extra details & comment :
Has been working almost perfectly since day one. This, as an answer to eventual wonderings about an AMD based setup…
However, I do have sometimes a decoupling issue between Cubase and the RME driver (symptom : Cubase audio engine is more or less ‘dead’, with an Audio-processing load = 0, as Cubase and a project have just been opened), but I don’t think the system build is involved in it. I usually solve it by using the Reset button in the Studio Setup>Audio System>ASIO Fireface USB page. Beside this, it takes easily everything I could throw at it, including old/demanding VSTis such as Emulator X3, BFD 3.3 or Alchemy 1.55, without a hiccup.

OS: Windows version: Windows 10, 10.0, version 2009, build: 19044
Hardware: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC., PRIME Z390-P
CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core™ i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz 8664, level: 6
8 logical processors, active mask: 255
RAM: 68572114944 bytes (63.9GB)
Graphic Card/GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
Issues: The GTX 570 is a 12 years old discontinued graphics card, although it can perform well even in very heavy projects, sometimes and very rarely can cause some lag/crashes that are not of major importance if you have enabled auto-save, lately I am testing the i7-9700 CPU integrated graphics, so if anyone has any input it would be appreciated for the post update.
