Oh no Miss B ,youll see when it's released ,it's nothing like octane or cycles or iray or those render/rendering engines programs all of those you could do the "same" thing as in set them to the main viewport IF you have a good card and lots of ram/memory/cuda cores if not it will be grainy before it clears up and then laggy if your system is not "strong enough" every time you move anything .it's not even something that's purchased it's a viewport feature which comes with some programs from some modeling programs to others like Substance Painter.more like a games realtime rendering engine/view (lol ? I'm pretty sure that was not a good description) On the blender source page you can download the latest 2.8 just to check it out it's a zip file not an exe install file so you do not even need to install it to your system just un zip it ?,
. And no RorrKoon I tried earlier on a system with only Intel graphics and it didn't work.but neither does cycles. none cuda cards..AMD, don't know .
