Dear Capture team
I am looking at upgrading my laptop to run Capture

can you tell me if a Nvidia GeForce GT 525M will be good enough to run polar graphics?

or can you advise a specific laptop graphics card you recomend?

regards
David Abra


(I'm a bit frustrated no one answered my previous post regarding my laptop graphics card, but I'm nearly over it)

It is hard to say that the card is good enough. A laptop has most of the time less performance than a desktop PC. The same for the graphics cards in a laptop.

Everything depends on the size of your projects.

If you realy want to go for a laptop, then take a good gaming laptop. An example of this is the Asus G75VX.

Hi David,

We're not quite that fast to answer on the forum, sorry. :-)

Now, just as Luc has stated, it's not easy to say whether the card will suit your purposes. However, what I believe you're after is whether it will produce fancy graphics or not - which is also hard to say because it comes down to the driver. The thing to watch out for with laptops is who delivers the drivers - often laptop drivers need to be "repackaged" by the laptop manufacturer, which often happens at a far too low pace, meaning that you can end up with getting drivers updates with a significant delay. I can only recommend checking the laptop manufacturers driver download sections to see with what kind of pace they deliver updated drivers!
