Windows 10: Slow performance with older program.

I still use Caligari trueSpace 6.6. My computer has an AMD FX 6100 six core CPU, 8 gigs DDR3 and a nVidia GTX 1050 GPU. Windows 10 Pro x64. trueSpace is 32 bit.

Recently I've noticed that rendering in trueSpace has become extremely slow, slower than it was with this and earlier versions of trueSpace on much slower computers. Solid view (showing the object colors and textures in realtime) in Direct3D mode is fine, no slowdown there.

The issue is when I click the buttons to render object or render scene it slowly goes down the screen from top to bottom with a sort of progressive 'window blind' effect, taking about 30 seconds. What's different from what it used to do is that multi-stripe effect, like it's processing chunks in parallel and doing a really bad job of optimization.

What it used to do (quite quickly) was just render the screen top to bottom, one line after another, no horizontal stripe effect.

There have been a couple of recent updates to the nVidia drivers. Could be they've managed to un-optimize or are deprecating support for older DirectX functions?

Windows 10 Pro Support CPU ?

Late reply, but are you saying that 8 runs faster than 10 on your e5200? I have heard opposite reports, that 10 runs faster on older hardware. Can you tell us what programs are slow, or is it just general slowness?

 

windows 10 to older windows

No you can not downgrade. If the computer supports an older version of Windows (it may not) you can buy a copy of that older version of Windows and clean install it.

However if you find that your new computer is slow, it's probably slow because the hardware is slow, and running an older version won't speed it up.
