hello,
i work on a workstation wiht double xeon and GTX 1080 TI 11gb in my office and the performance is terrific but i have to start a work off-site.What laptop should i buy to run enscape. I have a hp i7 but enscape crashes after a while. I don't expect to have the same performance as in the office of course. I just need some previews.

jumping_jack There are a lot of nice mobile workstations available on the market. A GTX 1070/1080 laptop will do the trick for VR as well. They're starting around 1700$. If you don't need that much power a GTX 1050 Ti/1060 will work as well for non VR.
-
how about a radeon RX560 sir? is it ok?
-
Jonathan Knoefel i went for two msi 1080 ti armor - wow, they got the power
thanks for advices to all.

Thomas Willberger I'm curious for this question too - should it be possible to use the non system card for the Enscape output?
-
bong_perezenscape the RX560 should work out quite fine for non VR walkthroughs in Medium to High quality in Full-HD. It is slightly slower than a GTX 1050.

thanx sir,,,

Really great thread, thank you for this forum and your efforts. Personally my basic questions to get at a final laptop purchase:
What is the minimum graphics card you would recommend to render VR scenes?
What is the minimum graphics card you would recommend for VR walk throughs?
1050ti, 1060ti, 1070ti, 1080ti...
I see that NVIDIA lists the NVIDIA GE Force GTX 1060 as a minimum (with no stated GPU Ram) but then also “recommends” the GTX 1080 with 8GB GPU Ram for HTV Vive. Anyway, answer can be in terms of the NVIDIA GeForce series as I have found this site to be a very good source to compare performance of cards (see ranking list at right with Class 1,2,3,4):
https://www.notebookcheck.net/…Ti-Notebook.168400.0.html
There are lots of good thin Revit ready laptops on the market with the 1050ti... (dell XPS15, Lenovo P1 has Quadro P2000 which is near equivalent to 1050ti)seems like you have to go to a gaming laptop to get to the 1070 or better. Lenovo P52 can be upgraded to a Quadro 3200, which is a near equivalent to the 1060.
It seems it comes down to the graphics card to make the machine big and heavy or not.
Thanks for any insight in advance, even just a simple opinion to the 2 questions above as “minimum” recommendations would be a huge help.

Inhabit Design I'd recommend for the best non VR experience the GTX 1070 Max-Q and an entry level VR performance in Draft Quality.
I use the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin for example, which has a perfect size and a long lasting battery.
But a GTX 1050 Ti will run Enscape in Medium Quality Non VR as well.
For best experience in VR I'd recommend a GTX 1080 or better.

We were thinking of going for RTX 2070, but unfortunately our workstations PSU only have 400W (HP, and it seems like we cant change it to a better one). So it seems like we only can go for 1050 Ti or hopefully 1060 (really haven't confirmed if 400W is enough for it). But the question is if we will notice any diffrent from our current P1000? Not for VR, just regular Enscape/Revit-work with renderings of images and videos.

Hi, I am using Enscape with Sketch Up - mainly for architectural work. Any feedback on 2080 RTX vs 1080 ti?
My Quadro 4000 has died! : ( I'm running Dual Xeon processors with 24GB RAM.

1080ti - a lot of speed for good money and 11GB memory are great too
2080 - a little bit more speed for much more money and less memory (8GB)
Advantage - 2080 could be good for the future, if Enscape should support NVlink. Than you could double your GPU memory. If Enscape will not support NVlink, than NVlink could be good for other engines like Vray/Octane. The next question would be, how Enscape will handle NVlink, if it isn't supported, but the user need it enabled for other software.
Next Advantage - Enscape could support RTX. But for now it's a "could".
Some where I read the GPU price will fall since the bit coin hype will go down. I'm not sure it's true. Maybe you get an used 1080ti now and use it for one year. At the moment there is no real advantage of the 2080.
Here a good GPU comparison:

I was wondering does anyone have some experience with the GTX 1660?

i wonder if anybody got new amd vega 7 with 16gb of ram .....

So, RTX could be a game changer.
Well, it's not ready for the 2.5, but the work in progress looks promising:
