You purchased a gaming Laptop ? is it a 1660 ti (GTX type)

Yes, I hadn't planned on getting one, but I did want more RAM, and it has 6 cores, so I went with it, not knowing the newer GTX GPUs were similar to the RTX GPUs. If I had known that, I would've insisted on the GTX 1080 ti I was originally interested in getting.

So far, that's my only complaint, as all the other "goodies" included are really nice. I'm used to doing CPU only renders, as the laptop I'm replacing didn't have one, and I had that laptop for about 8 years. This is definitely a lot speedier than my old laptop. Now if I can just get Win10 Pro to play nice. ~cringe~

There good (gaming laptops) I used a lot of those in the past (Alienware/MSI/Sager) I've also burnt out and warped a few (running sims in Houdini ) I was going to get another one last year (My last one took a trip overseas without my knowledge and never returned) but instead I saved up all of 2019 specifically just to get a Zbook and I luv this thing mostly just the finger print scanner...lol. thats the highlight for me, it has a Quadro RTX 3000,64GB ram Xeon..some thunderbolt thing I will never use,(And honestly still haven't bothered to see/search/or read what its even for) but it has a built in finger print scanner....that alone makes my day :) I wish I could get a PC one day, but, I never know how long I will be here or at the place I get sent, and got tired of furnishing other peoples places with desktops. So Laptops are good, for me anyway. ANYWAY, as far as the RTX thing is concerned Let Poser catch up to you, dont go back just to be able to use Poser, it'll happen sooner or later I suppose.
