Window 7 64 bit and Mastercam

[Code_Breaker]

How is Mastercam working with Window 7 64 bits?

 

My It want to know and is testing it now ...

[Ron Branch @ Verisurf]

Working good in my tests with it. I did not install it in the programs files. I did a straight to Main drive install like old version. I did have to turn on XP compatibility mode, but after that only problem I have had is graphics related and running the latest and greatest nivdia drivers but minor thing no dealing with it. This is Ultimate and looking at which Professional has when I but it for me I will just stick with professional problem is I got 4 computers I would upgrade and that is going to wait till probably 2011.

I'm running X4 on Win7 x64 Home Premium on my home machine with a Quadro FX-3450 video card..

It is fast and stable..

I had some video glitchs but turning all the

Windows eyecandy off ( video settings at max performance) solved them.

Are there only TWO people using Window 7 and Mastercam X4 MU1 ... not too convicing for my IT guys ... I need more people input ...

I'd give you input on win7 x64 professional, but it's running in a virt machine. IMO it's great. Stable. Turn off eyecandy and helps the graphics glitches as G said.

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

I'm running it on a couple of machines and it runs just great! Take a look under the "Benchmark" and you'll see a few in there.

As soon as the packages get here, we will be converting more systems to Win 7 for our demo machines and our training room.

Thanks Todd,

 

I used to talk with you when I was worked with Century Die Ohio ... but, I was in the Calif. shop ... small world ...

runs great on my new rig.

We are actually beginning the change over here at S4A to Windows 7.

 

Several of our training systems have it, we are working as time permits to change over our daily use systems to it.

 

We ran an internal benchmark file.

 

On my current Vista machine, it took 23+ minutes

both a x64 and x86 Windows 7 machines crunched just over 19 minutes and change. They were within 5 seconds of each other.

 

This morning we built an XP system with all of the same hardware running the windows7 machines so that we can benchmark the difference, using the same hardware between XP and windows 7

I have had good luck with the 64 bit but need to spend more time programming on it. I did not set it for XP mode just the way it sits. it's only a dual core and 8 gigs of ram and a Quadro fx 1700 with a rapture drive. will play again this week end and follow thru here.

For anyone interested, I show Windows 7 being faster than Windows XP by right about 10%

[bogusmill]

That's how I'm seeing it on my Win 7 x64 machine too. No XP mode just stright in.

[Mike Mattera - TFM]

Running XP64 right now. Hardly seems worth the bother for 10%. Plus, if U have to put it in XP mode and turn off the eye candy, what's the point.

 

I'll wait till I get a new PC, which is not in the near future for me.

I updated to Window 7 64 bits without changing the "compatibility" mode

 

Having hard times getting several programs to run, but Mastercam X4MU1 seems stable until 2nd instance open up ... if saving the file at the same time, one goes into "not responding" mode and have to wait until it comes back on ... looking into this now ...

Love it or hate it, it is what it is....
