Mac Studio unimpressive?

Well, I got my Mac Studio and upgraded to V26 apple silicon and so far, meh. But I’m not convinced that there isn’t something wrong with my machine. I have several issues like spinning beach ball when saving a small file and when I pan in 2d the view moves slightly then pauses, then then pans. But the inertia affect doesn’t happen most of the time. And when I pinch to zoom, there is a pause as well. Anyone else experiencing this?

Are you running Archicad through rosetta or native apple silicon version?

native now.

I tried the model in a test user and had the same results. I guess the next step is to try another file.

Cool ! It seems like quite a cost effective solution. I have been considering this option for low rise residential work that I occasionally do part time. Do you recommend it now or not ?

You have 32GB RAM not 23 ? 24 cores or 32 GPU ?
