Should you update to build 7349?
For production use, keep a backup of your previous build. This update is a solid maintenance release, not a game-changer, but it smooths several daily annoyances.
Verdict: Prepare for a shock. Matrix 6.1 was a classic, but it is 32-bit software. Matrix 9 Build 7349 is 64-bit. While it is much more powerful, your old library of custom parts may need to be re-exported. This build supports .3dm files back to version 5, so you won't lose data, but the rendering settings are not backwards compatible.
Users frequently complained that Matrix 9 would freeze when switching from "Shaded" to "Raytraced" view. Build 7349 fixes a memory leak associated with the NVIDIA RTX 40-series cards. If you are using an RTX 4080 or 4090, this update is mandatory to avoid GPU driver timeouts. gemvision matrix 90 build 7349 updated
