TBrown Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I am running VWA 2009 on a Power Mac G5, and have really noticed some aggravating hesitation with the new version of the software. I was using VWA 2008 as of last week. The hesitation is most notable when editing viewport crops and annotations. Is anyone else using a G5 experiencing this? Would anyone suggest that I upgrade to an Intel Mac? Quote Link to comment
M.CH Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 How much RAM are you using? What video card are you using? Although the video requirements are not very high, its best to have at least 256MB VRAM. Here are the system recommendations for 2009: http://www.nemetschek.net/designer/sysReq.php Do you have the same behaviour in a previous version? HTH Quote Link to comment
TBrown Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I have 4 Gigs of RAM (which used to be plenty), and the Video card is an ATI Radeon 9600XT with 128 MB of VRAM. I read through the link too. Thanks. On larger files, some with detailed model and a variety of 2D details, might start approaching 20 MB, I do experience some hesitation. More noticeable since the upgrade though. Quote Link to comment
saltbox Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm experiencing complete screen freeze-spinning beachball of death-when I try to move more than 20 selected objects with move-by-points, and it seems to get progressively slower. I could move entire planets without stutter or hesitation in v2008. G5 iMac, too young to mothball. Quote Link to comment
