Put together a test flow-graph today that is just a UHD-source and an 1024-bin FFT sink at 10frames/sec.

I configured the source for 50Msps, with 8-bit samples. My AMD Phenom II X6 1090T was able to keep up, but if I inserted even a single multiplier block between the source, and the FFT, I started getting nearly-continuous 'O'.

This suggests to me that actually "doing anything" with data at 50Msps is going to be a challenge. The way the FFT sink works is that it decimates the input quite aggressively (in vectors of FFT-length) before doing anything with the data--it throws most
  of it away in order to support the configured frame-rate.
