If you're done reading and your head hasn't pop'd like a balloon yet you're free to go. If it did pop, NO GO FOR YOU. Head pop means brain gone, brain is a recommended system requirement.
- AVX Version is for modern CPU's starting at AMD FX 6000 Series and Intel equivalents.
- Non-AVX Version is for older-than-above CPU's before 2011/12.
In doubt, use AVX. If the Viewer does not start up and does not give you any error message, use the non-AVX version, each version can simply be installed over the other.
Should you get an error message on startup and you use Windows 10 you'll need to head over to the Microsoft website and download the latest Visual C++ Redistributable 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable 2015/2017/2019/2022 X64 package, the Viewer requires it, comes with its DLL files but Windows 10 with all the latest updates requires new ones.
DO NOT download the Viewer anywhere else other than from these links! The Viewer is ONLY available from here and only for Windows.
