in my opinion i think you should go with the RTX version of the gpu instead of the Quadro. it supports majority of other programs such as TwinMotion. 😎

do you plan to buy those branded laptops? if yes dell xps or its alienware either of the two is one option in my opinion.

other options are using eGPU for less expensive laptops.

i think you need to consider more on storage (1tb NVME), processor (i7 or some what equivalent to it) and ram (min 16gb) 😎

I swear by my Msi. I have had them for my last several machines. And they're customer service is awesome.

Amazing, I love it. It's thinner but Msi has a pretty good cooling system so it does well.

I draw homes up towards 12000 sq ft with no issues while screen sharing with the client.

correct me if i'm wrong, i think Archicad mainly uses the processor and ram for editing in the modeling window not much to do with the GPU.

The GPU would be utilize when you are doing 3d walk tru.

Rendering i think it still uses the processor rather than GPU unless you are using the Redshift renderer in Archicad.

The GPU would be useful when you are using those realtime rendering software such as TwinMotion, Lumion, Enscape to name a few. 😎

This is correct, however I also have a laptop with a 2080 and a 2060 with identical components otherwise and the 2080 is much better in Archicad with 3d vs the 2060. Noticably.

But my 3070 kills it in twinmotion for sure in comparison to the other two. Even only being slightly faster than the 2080.

awesome! you guys talking about just using laptops with RTX GPUs performing that much! I can't wait to upgrade my desktop with 3080, its just way too expensive! 😆

I am looking at the Msi creator z16

14 core and 3080!

Mainly i want to use it since Covid and worked from home I was thinking with a good laptop i can travel and work when ever i can ,i had bad experiences with laptops so i ve decided to buy better performance to support Archicad and other 3d programs . when i merge IFC strucure files into project that is the main problem too many bolts and plates makes Archicad to suffer and me too even to orbit tell i succeed to isolate layers .
I was checking MSI website and you can chose what you want it for but the problem is prices , sometimes i feel it is over priced that is why i wanted to see others experience with laptops ,medium projects, Charts with Graphisoft GPU didn`t help much to chose .

there is no one solution to buying a hardware for software it can vary, especially you're handling IFC with lots of bolts and plates for sure it will cause a huge lag on your system. Not sure if I'm correct but investing in a good processor adding more ram will help in loading those bolts and plates faster. Like i told you earlier if you are planning to do real time renderings etc. you can fully utilize the GPU's power that would be nice as well.

I will wait to hunt offers and let you know if it was a good choise or not , I saw RTX 4000 best solution but expensive solution with i7 or i9 H and ram 16+ should do the job done
hope to find a good offer ,manythanks for replies
