I see that Amazon is releasing a similar product later this month called the Kindle Scribe. It looks like it'd be a little cheaper by the time you figure in the cost of the pen & case. Although you'd have be tied into the Amazon/Kindle ecosystem to use it. I like the idea of a digital notepad with the look and feel of paper, I'll be keeping an eye on how these compare.

Thank you!! This update seems to have cured the freezing problems I've had with X14. I had zero issues today with Chief open in plan view and at least one 3D view, plus a web browser and adobe acrobat, a situation which would cause totally random freeze ups before this update. Much appreciated.

I had the same experience when I upgraded to X13 last week, though my GeForce GTX 740 video card would get me through for another year before investing in a new PC. It turns out the shader model on my card is only 5.1 so it does not meet the 6.0 requirements. I found a GTX 1050 for a fairly reasonable price that I could get quickly. Installed that yesterday and everything is working great now. It looks like you are probably having the same experience with the GTX 770. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-770.c1856 Look at the "Graphics Features" section and it shows the shader model as 5.1. The shader model cannot be upgraded on a GPU. So the "Max Shader Model" info in the X13 video card status dialog is not necessarily accurate for the Nvidia 7 series GPU's.
