THBlack Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Anybody have experience running C14 or C15 on this machine? They can come with up to an Intel EVO i7 with 32G RAM They are very portable and light-weight, compared to other platforms. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. I was using the surface book 3 with an upgraded card that was equivalent to a RTX 3050 Mobile. Was decent enough to run chief and denoise an RTRT. I dont think I would get a surface pro though, unless it was a second machine. If someone is serious about this profession I feel as if they should be getting a gaming laptop.

THBlack Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 I purchased a maxed-out SurfacePro 9. I7 and 32G Ram. CA15 installed and works. Shows 1G video ram. CA12 does NOT work. No support for OpenGL, despite reinstalling all drivers and installing the OpenCL and OpenGL compatibility pack from the MS Store. Very pricey, but can be a KILLER MACHINE for executive meetings with big clients. Screen produces gorgeous imaging, just like an IPad.Looks like a photo. Small machine, exactly like a tablet. Get a few walkthroughs on file, show them to clients. Remove the keyboard from 'tablet' and hand it to your client. Open the plan, place a camera somewhere and take a few screen shots on the spot. Email them to your client or put them on a USB (need a dongle with a USB port for the SP9), and hand it to him/her. Can make a big difference to a business who can afford to have a few of these 'tablets' around. After rendering a few walkthroughs on the Pro, I have a major question. Will post it next as another thread. Depending on the answer, I may send it back to MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No support for OpenGL It's all about the Video Card with Chief and why they suggest a 4GB Nvidia or AMD Graphics card ( 2GB minimum ) as Chief has always had various Issues with Intel Graphics cards over the years, and there is currently a Known Incompatibility with Intel Arc GPUs for example and previous Intel Xe / Iris cards as well, which maybe your Issue if only running X12.
