Macbook Pro Requirements

  • February 13, 2018

Before I invest in a new MacBook Pro, will the following specifications allow Dimension CC to run?

  • 2017 Macbook Pro
  • 3.1GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
  • 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 onboard memory
  • 1TB SSD
  • Radeon Pro 560 with 4GB GDDR5 memory


Or is anyone on here with the same specs? and if so does it run ok/have any issues?
Thanks so much!

Yes, this meets all of the requirements (and is in fact what I use for work running Dimension daily).

Update:

In our next planned update we are removing system requirements as a blocking factor.  We are testing that version now and you're welcome to join the Dimension CC Prerelease to get early access to that build and try it out.

Today (4/3/2018) we released Dimension 1.1 update which includes removing the blocking factors of system requirements.  Dimension will now display a system requirements check dialog at startup that tells you if you are below minimum, below recommended, or above recommended for each specification.  You can also access this in the Help menu at any time.

We're happy to reduce the barriers to people trying Dimension but want to be clear this does not guarantee Dimension will be performant on lower specced machines as 3D is still generally a more intensive media type.  Interacting and rendering will be significantly faster on a more powerful machine.

Ok, am I missing something here?

Adobe Dimension Version 1.1.1 installed - Check

Open GL Requirement 3.2 according to: Dimension CC system requirements

Macbook Pro 15" 2016, Open GL Version 42: Accrding to: Mac computers that use OpenCL and OpenGL graphics - Apple Support

STILL Getting the "Your Open GL isn't sufficient popup - with no option to not check the open GLVersion since it closes it right away.

WTH!

Hi. Would a 2.9GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 make much difference in this context?

It will work fine.  It's a lower speed so slightly lower render times, etc, but nothing major.
