Question about MTVU and Rendering Threads in SW mode.

[FaunoComLabirintite]

I am quite confused by those two options.
Is there an optimal number? For example, I have an i7 6700HQ, 8 threads. In some sources, I've found that I need to use n-1 = 7 threads on Rendering Threads (I personally prefer accurate emulation, so I stick with Software mode). In others, I've found that I need to use n-2 = 6 if I want to use MTVU as well.

In other sources yet, people say I need to use something like 4.

My question is: Which value for Rendering Threads gives me the best performance, in conjunction with MTVU?

Edit: I'm using the latest 1.6 stable version.

The tooltip changed in 1.7:

But you are correct 6 is optimal and the calcalation is amount of threads - 2.

Thanks a million!

Does the MTVU setting have any kind of influence on this setting?

For example, if I have 8 threads, should I use 6 rendering threads even with MTVU on?

Yeah just stick to 6.
