I would say if you can, get at least a 20 series card or higher now. A lot of great new GPU features rely on the RTX capabilities of 20 and 30 series cards (like 2060 or 3070). Especially if you're spending your money now you'll want the computer to last as long as possible. Does the TUF have something with a 2060, 2070, or 3070? The TUF looks like a good affordable laptop for sure.

Thanks for the video!! What would you recommend for Mac users?

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 2 жыл бұрын

Best thing for Mac users is to use Bootcamp and install Windows. TouchDesigner on Mac can be great for learning but if you're trying to squeeze out performance, then installing Windows will help. Other than that, try to get the best GPU you can in your Mac. I know the new M1 Max chips are supposed to be really nice but I think I'd still lean towards trying to get a dedicated established GPU like an Nvidia chip or an AMD chip if it's mostly a TouchDesigner-work computer. When the version of TouchDesigner releases using Vulkan that might change though and work just as well on Apple's chips. Hope that helps!

Hey thanks for all the help throughout these years, i was going with macbook air 2021, but unfortunately it got stolen few months back in the college, now I’m low on budget and I’m getting a good deal for an Hp laptop which comes with 16gigs of ram inteli7 12th gen and rtx 3050, how would you suggest me to proceed with it.

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 3 ай бұрын

It really depends on what you're trying to do with the machine. If you're looking to learn TouchDesigner, it sounds like it could be a good option as you'll have access to most of the Nvidia functionality and a modern processor. One thing to check is whether or not you can upgrade the RAM, as 16GB is generally considered the bare minimum nowadays (it'd probably be worth adding more regardless).

Congrats on the new buy! That should last you quite a long time. One thing I always say is there's always "something new" coming out just around the corner, so you buy a computer when you need one and you get the best thing you can get that works for you, and then you just have to put all the other computer hardware out of mind, otherwise it'll always keep your mind full of "what ifs"! The 2070 is plenty powerful for even GPU intensive tasks, and it's an RTX card so you can take advantage of all the latest and greatest features, so you'll be off to the races!

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 4 жыл бұрын

I would generally say never go below the xx60 series, so that would be 960, 1060, 2060, etc. All of the xx50 series cards are quite weak and not worth the money. I would also try to stay with the latest series you can get, even if it means spending less money on other parts of the computer. It seems like the 2060 is around 300$ on newegg.com now, so that would be my budget pick. If you needed to spend even less, the 1660 and 1660 Super are hovering closer to $200-$250. It would be worth checking online for used GPU's as well, maybe you can get a 2060 or 2070 for even cheaper.

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 4 жыл бұрын

Don't worry, it won't be the last rig you buy :) For eGPU's, first do a quick search on what works best with macbook pros. One of the tricky thing about eGPU's is that some work better with some systems than others. They've come a long way for compatibility, but based on how many PCIe lanes are dedicated to the Thunderbolt port, you may find some are far too powerful or some aren't powerful enough. One of the boxes that I've seen reviewed well are the Aorus gaming boxes. They seem to have a good balance between size, cost, and performance. For example their 2070 eGPU looks quite nice. Another thing to think about is whether or not you'll be plugging in an external monitor to your eGPU or working directly from your laptop. The 2nd tends to incur a performance penalty, so to get the best from your eGPU it's also good to think about an external monitor setup for it as well.

Hi you said that Quadro is better than Geforce. What do you think about NVIDIA Quadro T400, Intel UHD Graphics 770? Will it be able to handle for an installation that is immersive (combination of Intel RealSense with basic geometry) or naparticlesGpu based project that runs on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. I am looking for a cheaper but good alternative that will be in the building where istalation is located.

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 4 ай бұрын

The Quadro label doesn't necessarily mean the performance will be better than a GeForce card, especially if the cards are from different generations. In general, the RTX 2060 is going to give 300%+ better performance on most tests compared to the T400 (technical.city/en/video/GeForce-RTX-2060-vs-T400, gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-T400-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2060/m1607441vs4034). That said, it's hard to gauge the performance difference without digging into the project. In most cases it's better to be developing and testing the project on the same hardware that you'll be using on site, so if your performance is adequate with the RTX 2060, you might be better off trying to push for the budget to get one for the on-site computer so you don't run into unforeseen performance issues

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ Жыл бұрын

It all depends on what you're trying to do with TouchDesigner - are you just looking to learn the software? Develop professional installations? This laptop will likely do OK with some of the basic functionality of the program, but in general you'll need a dedicated graphics card to use the more graphics-intensive components. That said, since you already have the machine, I'd say that it's worth trying to run TouchDesigner on it! It may very well be fine for your particular needs. You can always upgrade to a more powerful computer later if the situation calls for it. Sometimes (especially when first learning a tool) it can be better to work with the tools you already have in front of you. Hope that helps!

Some things to consider: certain TouchDesigner features are Windows-only, including any Nvidia tools (Flow, Flex, Background, Denoise, Upscale, H264/H265 enconders etc.) and a variety of sensors. Windows laptops will generally give you more options in terms of GPUs (very important for TD work) and higher specs for the same price as a Mac. It all depends on your particular scenario, though. If going the Windows route is going to make things more difficult for your editing workflow, that might be worth considering. Along with that, try to define what your goals for working with TouchDesigner are. Doing professional work with the program often requires a more powerful machine, but if you're just planning to create your own projects or experiments (or still learning the program), you'll probably be fine with a lower to mid spec machine. It's also worth checking out the forums (forum.derivative.ca) to see what others have said on the topic as this question comes up a lot 🙂 Hope that helps!

Hello, I'm gonna be purchasing a laptop soon and I want to consider TouchDesigner in the decision making process. My question is how much difference would it make, in performance, if I go with lower spec and less Vram GPU like 3050 vs 3060 or 3070? Is it gonna be worth it going towards 3070?

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 2 жыл бұрын

I think 3070 is the best price point / performance point / mobility point in a laptop. 3050 I wouldn't bother with, and 3060 only if you really really can't find a 3070 laptop in your budget. Otherwise definitely aim for the 3070, it is SO MUCH stronger than the 3050 and 3060.

Would I hit the ceiling on a lower spec GPU very soon? My current usage of touchdesigner is just as a hobby.

@@MohakSumaria If you're using TouchDesigner just for fun and a hobby, then even a 3060 would be great. You will be able to make lots of nice things and if there are frame drops they don't matter as much. If you're considering doing projects and turning your passion into a career, I'd highly recommend trying to get the 3070, it will give you so much more overhead which is really useful when you're just starting your journey, then you don't have to spend tons and tons of time always optimizing everything.

That's not bad. A 1660 will definitely be better than a 1060, and if you can manage to upgrade to an i5 instead of an i3 I think that will help make it last longer. 16GB of RAM can also help the system overall function a bit more smoothly. If you look for gaming computer sales, you can usually find an i5, 16gb of RAM, and some king of 1660 or 2060 for a decent price.

Hi Paul! It would be but I'd always say whenever you can take money from other parts of the computer and use it to increase the GPU power, that's a good thing to do. I think in a laptop, the xx70 (970, 1070, 2070, 3070, etc) are the best bang for buck. With a 2070 you'd have a lot of power but also a laptop that doesn't weigh 1000 lbs! I'm always on the lookout for sales as well when it comes to grabbing laptops, so something like this even could be a good option: www.newegg.com/rog-strix-g15-black-asus-g512lw-es76-gaming-entertainment/p/N82E16834235464?Description=asus%20g14%202070&cm_re=asus_g14%202070-_-34-235-464-_-Product

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 4 жыл бұрын

Hmm there's a lot of ways to help make the decision. One thing I always do is do a bit of research on the software to see if it's properly multithreaded or not. I did a web search for "premiere pro multithreading" and found this link: www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Premiere-Pro-CPU-performance-Intel-Core-X-10000-vs-AMD-Threadripper-3rd-Gen-1629/

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 4 жыл бұрын

So reading that link, it looks like the 3950x isn't much faster than an i9 9700k, but the 9700k is about half the price of the 3950x! So you could then easily take that saved budget and either bump up the GPU to a 2080 or use it to improve storage or something else on the machine. The article also makes a good point that if you want to use Thunderbolt at all, you need to stay with Intel, since AMD can't do Thunderbolt yet.

@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ 4 жыл бұрын

For Resolume, I believe that is mostly GPU driven when using DXV codec and the built in FX, so that would benefit from a 2070 or 2080. But I think you're on the right track. 2070 with a decent CPU (like an i7 9700k) will be a strong and affordable system, if you put a little more money and upgrade to a 2080 + CPU like the i9 9900k, you'll have a system that should remain powerful for a few years at least before needing any upgrades.

Laptops are tricky. My general recommendation is to really decide your usage clearly. Is this a machine meant to replace a desktop for performances? Is it for traveling to and from gigs? Is it your only machine or a secondary machine? I think all these things play into. If it's a desktop replace and your only machine, I would stay away from very ultra-thin workstation laptops, since they got hot and thermal throttle, so I'd steer towards something like an Origin laptop or a the Aorus ones. If it's a secondary machine just to do some work on the road between working on desktops, then ultra-thin would be great, something like a Razer or an X1 Extreme.
