Mercury Playback Engine & Laptops

[Kendall Shaw]

I’m sure I can get an answer from some salesman, but I would rather do research first.

Is there somewhere that I can find which laptops are compatible. For example, a lenovo w530 has integrated intel GPU + nvideo quadro k1000m. With the latest nvidia drivers, later than from lenovo, GPU support for ray tracing in after effects is “unsupported”. With the lenovo drivers GPU support is unavailable from the preview settings menu.

Also, at the moment, previewing ray tracing is not my concern. Where else should I be concerned about GPU support and how can I tell if a laptop is supported?
