We have a dilemma with X7 which we've been using for years now. My system seems to be rock solid. I have hardly any issues with X7. Win 7 btw. My cohort was having many issues with X7 being really slow, locking up, freezing, you name it. Another point to keep in mind is that I use a highly modified workspace and have over 200 macros. That system wasn't but is now as we recently purchased a new system to try and fix the problems but it hasn't helped a bit. That one is now using Win 10 and still crashes all the time. Not sure what video card it has but I know it's not an AMD. RAM out the wazoo. SSD drive. I can't think of anything. Thing of it is we have yet another older Win10 system that has no problems either. I'm open to suggestions although I doubt that we're ready to take the subscription plunge.
Let's dig into all the specs, mainboard, video card, HD, memory, manufacturer ect.
My system
I think her problem was 3GB files with extremely large resolution images. I know they had a driver issue with their video card. However if those are the techniques used for file creation you're going to see issues.
One of my architectural designers is a nightmare for the IT guy, she runs Adobe CC, Revit, Sketchup and MS Office, crashes on a regular basis. Three others on the same team doing the exact same work have far less issues..
I'm not a fan of Xeon systems, they seem to do ok for client server applications, my clients are starting to replace them as rendering servers now with i9 systems.
In the States it's just cheap to build an i9, about $1,500 to $2,000 builds a monster the higher cost gets support for unusual technologies. Hell I got support for interfaces I'll never use. Rock solid performance, systems run 24/7 the only time they restart are for updates or installation of software or hardware .
I did have a issue with a wireless keyboard/mouse I was testing, as the climate changed I had to move them transceiver to a front USB port, it seems thevrange didn't like the humidity change.
Update. Everything seems to be "better" but we've discovered another peculiarity between the two systems. If I draw 6000 shapes I can select all either by ctrl+a or marquee select and it's almost instantaneous. On the "new" system it takes forever as it redraws. Thought this was a setting somewhere but can't remember. So I tried an experiment with a simple macro that would turn off the redraw effect off first then group (optimization). Didn't make a difference at all. Also tried the same macro changing it to ungroup.
Is either machine using enhanced view?
both are set to enhanced
Can you share a file please?
