Raziel Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 ok great, does that mean the GFX card is more important? is it worth upgrading the MSI to 32MB ram ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUST Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 yes, in this instance. the 8GB VRAM will assist with your high res assets. The SSD will assist in loading such assets much faster. You can upgrade the ram easily providing it has spare sodimm slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Just wanted to point out that we have quite a number of those MSI laptops and use them for events. I don't know how well they work with pro but given that they have a minidp and a 1070 it should work. They're pretty solid for the original Vive.
