v7.4.32 is now available on the 'download all' page. It installs and runs OK (64-bit Windows), but I don't use the backup project setting. Any testers?


I have upgraded from 7.2.42 to version 7.4.32 and can confirm that the zero share bug I experienced in version 7.4.27 is fixed in this version.

don't experience any other defects in this version.

I moved to previous version due to the zero share bug. As I did that I noticed a huge difference 33%(But only for the NVIDIA card) in floating point measurement between these versions. Now the measurement is:

There is also a difference in available memory

Accessible memory is considered more in the newer version but is the card considered a lesser performer by approx. 1/3rd.

Should these figures not be constant between versions?
