NX5 and Macintosh
NX5 and Macintosh
(OP)
I'm wondering should I decide to purchase a new MacPro desktop system which graphics card Apple offers that would be suitable for running NX? I'm modeling for Industrial Designers so graphic performance is important in dynamically
moving the model in Fine or XtraFine faceting mode as well as face reflection analysis.
Also since NX currently will not run in Mac OS, for best performance overall would "Windows" OS or Linux OS be best?
thanks!

Thanks for responding. Do you mean to say that eventually
NX might run under the Mac OS? Also referring to my original post do you have any input on which
graphics card offered with the "Intel" Macs would be recommended?
Thanks again,
Walter

'Officially' we will be announcing support of NX 5 on intel-based Mac's under the Mac OS. As for the graphics card, I suspect that since we go through the Mac OS for that support, it will be whatever they support.
As for the 'unofficial' NX 4 version ported to the G4/G5 chip-set, that was only done as a sort of 'proof-of-concept' and was never intended to be released to anyone other than our people, and some people at Apple of course, for testing.
