laptop : GPU usage?

Alain Decamps
Hi

I'm considering a new laptop and have a question about usage of typical laptop seperate mobile GPU's.

Has anybody experience with the speed improvement in C1 for GPU's like the
NVIDIA GeForce 940M or AMD Radeon R7 M360 ,... with 2 GB video ram.

    Well the laptop will not be used as main C1 computer. I just want to be able to do C1 adjustments when needed and then it could make a difference.

    If it is not your main computer then whether the GPU is powerful or not really does not matter.

    I have an i7 based system (4 year old processor technology) with a Quatro K1000M gpu that just scrapes in to being used when performance tested during C1 start up.

    I suspect it may help a little with a large output batch depending on what editing I have done but in general I see little obvious difference in processing whether the GPU is "on" of "off". Either way it is fast enough for my needs. I think there are probably other hardware specification considerations that, for a notebook, are likely to be more significant than the GPU specification - which will always be constrained in some way, compare to desktop machines, due to size requirements.

    The choice is between an iGPU (ad thus no use in C1) or a more entry level like dedicated GPU in the hope that it will make C1 a bit more responsive.

    The laptop will have a SSD.
