I still haven’t purchased a laptop.
I use my computer almost entirely to work on Cheetah 3D projects.
There are a few things I’m concerned about concerning the specific specs as to how they effect C3D:
Graphic Cards
I now have an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
I’m concerned about AMD products because that card went down on me twice.
I notice the graphic cards vary in the laptops I’m interested in.
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655
-or-
Radeon Pro 555X with 4GB of GDDR5 memory
(Who makes that card?)
Which graphic card do you consider would be best?
Processor:
I now have a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
When I purchased the computer I now have; an Apple sales person told me I was buying a Quad Core
When I received the computer the “About this Mac” didn’t show quad core.
They told me there are different ways of expressing this.
Is there a BIG difference between:
2.7GHz quad‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz
16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory
-and-
2.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz
16GB 2400MHz DDR4 memory
That’s .4 GHz difference
If it isn’t that much I think I would sacrifice the “.4 GHz” for a larger screen.
Ram:
When I work on my C3D projects I don’t have any other apps open
do I need more than 8G Memory?
I do want to animate short scenes with objects that are polygon intense
(Particle emitters creating Rain - Snow - Fireworks)
Do I need more Memory to drive that type of animation?
Thanks
