Cross 64 Bit 3.3RC1 - My real world Usage
Posted: 06 Sep 2014, 04:04Hi Guys,
After playing with 3.3RC1 in 64 Bit mode I would just like to report that it is running very stable on my setup, I know there has been a few comments saying that the gains would be not huge but in my experience they have been.
I am running a self built home PC running an Intel i7 2600K CPU, 16Gigs DDR3 RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate and a 512MB SSD for the OS with a SATA3 7200rpm Hard drive for the collection. Start up speed is a lot quicker and the cpu load on my system is very minimal, I can run 2 HD videos with effects and the average cpu usage for Cross is around 8%, to me that is a huge gain over Cross 3.2 32bit which was averaging 28%
I am just about to upgrade my gigging laptop from an old HP Core 2Duo with 8GB ram to an Asus N550JK which has a Core i7 4700HQ (4 cores/8 threads) processor, windows 8.1, 256GB Sata3 SSD and 16GB of ram - I can't wait to see how that handles Cross 3.3 even in its RC state.... (SSD and extra 8GB Ram to upgrade)
All in all I am over the moon with Cross and 3.3 is another step in the continuing upward direction, keep up the good work guys.
