447Debbie Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I am going to build a new computer and one of the choices involves the type of CPU. i5-7600k or i7-7700k, the i5-7600k has no hyperthreading, while the i7-7700k has hyperthreading. Does anybody know if Home Designer Pro 2018 makes use of hyperthreading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hyperthreading is something that happens in the hardware. Home Designer using threading, so, by default, will take advantage of hyperthreading. A SSD will make a difference too. Lots of recent info on ChiefTalk -- search for xeon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
447Debbie Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Any idea how good Home Designer Pro 2018 is at scaling? I have a chance to buy a 4k display, but I'll have to scale it to be able to read the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Windows and your video card do the scaling, not Home Designer. You can change the screen resolution to see it larger on screen. DJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
447Debbie Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Understood, but sometimes some programs do funny things, like end up with parts of the working area off the screen. I guess I can make up for that with the screen resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I have been using Chief Premier and Home Designer software since versions 4 (Chief) and (6) Home Designer. Since 1995 I have always had dual monitors with which that software works perfectly well. With Dual monitors each one is a different size, the ones I have now are 18" and 30", At need I can change the font size and icon size in those programs ( in Windows and in Chief but not HD) anytime I wish though I generally leave their resolutions alone at their maximum resolutions with no problems for a 70 year old dude with waning eyesight.
