Hello!

I am building a custom dmx console with a RPi and QLC+, right now I plan to use the RPi 3, but I also have a RPi 4 available. Is the performance much better on the 4 compared to the 3 to consider upgrading my setup?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum,

Yes it performs better if you need to edit some settings or some scenes... It performs substantial better when you include EFX or RGB matrices. I would even suggest including cooling (passive/active). With EFX or RGB matrices, the RPi gets hot.
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore
