Maya on laptops
 

Hi all,

I am currently travelling a lot with work and was thinking about buying a laptop to use maya while travelling - the one I am looking at has an ATI 9600 mobility graphics card (128 mb video memory) - does anybody have any experience of this card in a laptop with maya - any problems etc.

thanks a lot for any answers

I ran Maya a few times with the Radeon Mobility. Worked fine but menus and icons vanished once in awhile. In general it still worked.

I have no problems with it yet. I got the 9600 also.

thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it

I'm running Maya on Compaq Presario 2529EA 2.6Ghz with only 256ddr, and a 64Meg IGP (8000 Radeon series i think) and have had no problems. i have even done some renders on it...cheeky... :)

sorry forgot to say it's ple edition, if that makes any difference..

Hey, I have the Toshiba p10-ee1 with the 9700 and maya works very well. It's actually a tiny bit faster than the desktop version of nvidia fx 5600 in maya.

I did notice some lighting differences (ugly darkening when using bevel) compared to the 5600.

I would have loved it if this laptop came with fx 5700 since it's better for opengl...but I'm happy.
