Should I update to BI 6 on same PC?

[danwilk]

I've been using BI 5 for about 7 years on the same PC with the setup below. I purchased it refurbished off an online site, can't actually remember but may have been eBay. Will it continue to run BI 6 good or do I need to upgrade to a newer faster system? This system only runs BI and nothing else as of now.

Windows 10 Pro
Intel Core i7 4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
16GB Ram
AMD Radeon HD 7500 Series (1009 MB)
512 GB SSD
2.73 TB HDD

I'm only running 5 cameras on this but plan to add a few more soon.

Thanks.

Aside from BI 6 having built-in AI, it is essentially the same.

But why update if it is working to fit your needs? Many here haven't made the jump yet until a decent stable version of 6 is available.

Make sure you are using substreams and turn off hardware acceleration and this computer is fine for BI.

Thank you.

I probably won’t be updating anytime soon. I’m on a stable older release of BI 5. I had updated once before and all my AI stuff broke and notifications were terrible so I restored back to the old release and unchecked auto update on restart.
