David Laser Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hello, I'm considering buying a notebook to use as a producer Watchout. I got tired of carrying a 4 rack pc to use as a producer. I am considering purchasing an Asus Strix with AMD Ryzen 7 6800H and RTX3060 graphics, 16Gb RAM. I used to always use Intel processors, in recent years there has been a strong growth of AMD processors and now there are more of Intel processors. I wanted to know if AMD processors are stable with Watchout or is there any instability. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfk Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 It is pretty tough to beat the Notebook offered by Show*Sage. They have optimized so many details, for example, the keyboard has a separate number pad to take full advantage of WATCHOUT shortcuts. And more. https://www.showsage.com/beta/docs/workstation_guide.pdf More important, they have performed the tuning and critical confirmation testing. And should anything go awry, they support the notebook / WATCHOUT combination. Put a price on that I am sure the AMD processors will work fine. The few users who have gone that route have not reported any issues. On the other hand, that is a small sample size. The overwhelming majority of WATCHOUT server cpu s in the field are Intel based.

bambam Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 I've been using ryzen 5800h for 6 months. I haven't had any problems. My only advice is if you're going to use softedge blending, have a powerful graphics card.By the way, because I don't like win 11, I used it by installing win 10. But win 11 also works stable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Laser Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Thanks everyone for the information. I would like to use a Thunderbolt 3 to Ethernet 10GBase-T Adapter. I noticed that notebooks with AMD processors do not have this port, it is a connection developed by Intel / Apple. Anyone know how these watchout adapters work? It could make the difference in my case between AMD and Intel. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBeddig Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 If you can make it work under Windows and turn off all other NICs, it should work with WATCHOUT too. WATCHOUT does not have any adaptors!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
