    NVIDIA RTX Studio Laptops and Mobile Workstations — Purpose-Built for Creators — Coming from Every Major OEM 10 New Designs from Dell, HP, Lenovo and BOXX Raise Total Number of RTX Studio Models to 27 SIGGRAPH--NVIDIA today announced that 10 new NVIDIA RTX™ Studio laptops and professional-grade mobile workstations are being released by major partners, delivering real-time ray tracing, advanced AI and ultra-high-resolution video editing to the world's 40 million creatives. The latest designs from Dell, HP, Lenovo and BOXX bring the number of RTX Studio models to 27 -- including 17 that are now available. These laptops power more than 40 creative and design applications that have turned “RTX On,'' enabling tens of millions of creatives to harness ray tracing and AI in their workflows. NVIDIA RTX features are being shown at SIGGRAPH this week in software from a diverse set of independent software vendors, including Adobe, Autodesk and Blackmagic Design. NVIDIA also announced the availability of a new NVIDIA Studio Driver, which provides optimizations for popular creative apps updating around SIGGRAPH, including OTOY Octane Render, Blender, Autodesk Arnold, Maxon Cinema 4D, Substance Painter by Adobe and Magix VEGAS Pro. The latest Studio Driver adds an often-requested feature - support for 30-bit color in OpenGL apps such as Adobe Photoshop and Premiere for all GPUs. With this feature, creators can work with their HDR photos and videos with full accuracy and without the banding typical of 24-bit color. “RTX Studio laptops and mobile workstations are moving rapidly to the center of the creative industries,'' said Jason Paul, general manager of GeForce software and technology at NVIDIA.

  • | Computer and Software Requirements
    | Computer and software requirements The computer is a crucial tool in architecture and all students must have (no latter than the start of the 2nd year in the BAS) a professional-grade computer that meets the minimum requirements, equipped with all mandatory software and accessories as per the specifications listed below. Incoming 1st year students can refer to the appendix for more info. When selecting a computer, please ensure it is powerful enough to support the demanding computational requirements of specialized software necessary for studio coursework, 3D modeling, fabrication and graphic design. This important investment will significantly affect your capacity to do the work efficiently and rapidly. The MSoA strongly recommended students purchase a laptop instead of a desktop computer. The mobility and flexibility of owning a laptop is critical to architectural studies as coursework is often delivered in groups and tutorials are provided in various locations (i.e. studio space, the CLT classroom, fabrication lab, etc.). MINIMUM computer requirements: | Windows 10 x 64 | 8th or 9th Generation Intel Processor with 16 GB of RAM memory and a graphics card capable of displaying resolutions at 1920x1080 (e.g. Nvidia Quadro, Nvidia GeForce, etc.) | 500 GB hard drive (Solid State (SSD) hard drive preferred) | Wireless Recommended: | Three-year warranty | Theft and damage insurance Please note: Although the choice remains yours, we advise against purchasing a MacBook Pro for architectural studies. Many students have regretted this decision in the past as the majority of software used in architecture are Windows specific and students find themselves working in the Windows OS the majority of the time.
