flakie12 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I was looking at getting the low end Mac pro laptop with i7 dual core and the Intel hd 4000. Does anyone know if the Video card will work with FZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exocubic Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've run formZ on a 13" Retina MacBook Pro. Has an Intel Iris vid card (I think that's a step up from the HD4000). The Iris card is far from ideal, but doesn't really cause any problems that I can tell. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Intel graphics is pretty weak, but I think the 4000 is a good bare minimum. Try the Trial version first before buying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Dear Flakie, Yes, as Rob and Exocubic note, the Intel 4000 is less than ideal, but it will work. However, its performance score is only 455, and a good recommended minimum is ~1500 as noted on our system requirements page: http://www.formz.com/products/formz/formzSystem.html The link below shows relative performance and pricing for most common video cards, and while this is primarily intended for Windows users, the cards that also work for a Mac should have the same relative performance: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html We hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any further questions.
