32-bit support?

I have noticed a few videos stating this game is using over 8gb at times.  This seems to imply it supports 64-bit.  

 

If this game supports XP I assume it must support 32-bit as well.  I was wondering how well the performance would be on an old high-end system.  

 

Anyone have some action of 32-bit windows XP video and performance numbers?  How big have they gotten before lagging out too badly to play?

 

Just curious

XP is already dead and burried many years now, and not supported by MS. 

Also the minimum requirements for the game is DX11, which doesn't run on XP either. (not even XP64)

 

Assuming you do not have a 32bit CPU (doubt anyone has today because they are extinct since 2002), upgrade to windows 8.1 64bit.

This is not correct. The minimum requirement for the game is DirectX 9.0c.

 

However, the 64-bit version of the operating system is listed as a minimum requirement. 32-bit operating systems were already struggling with Simcity 4, and that game is more than 12 years old.

I went with the minimum requirement of graphic cards which are DX11.

*shrug* DirectX 9.0c is listed, that's why I said that. Anyway, it won't help anyone with a 32-bit operating system, so the question is moot for the OP.
