@ssgbryan why are RTX cards DOA?

That's a good question. From what I just read about the new-ish RDNA2 cards on the AMD site, they were created very specifically with gaming in mind. I know there must be a lot of folks here who participate in online gaming, but I don't, and ever since getting this laptop around Thanksgiving last year, I've been very pleased with it. Since I already knew there was an issue with Poser and the newer RTX cards, I specifically told the sales rep I wanted a GTX card. Unfortunately, what I didn't realize was the newest GTX cards at that time were also running the same Touring system as the RTX cards, so I had to wait until Poser updated to accept the newer nVidia cards.

That said, this IS a "gaming" laptop, but I only bought it for the newer, better components than my last 8-year old laptop, and I'm really pleased I'm able to use GPU rendering options again. AMD is a good brand, but just because their latest GPU cards are set up for gaming computers, doesn't mean the RTX/GTX cards running on the Touring system are DOA.
