Intel Iris Pro GPU?

[joshua.white]

Has anyone tried Geomagic 2014 on an Iris Pro GPU? It's the highest end GPU that Intel makes at the moment, and I'm wondering if I can get by without an nVidia card. It's typically sold with a 2.0 GHz i7 in Ultra books, and is used on the entry level 15" Retina MacBook Pro. I do handle some fairly large models with maybe 1000 parts (not necessarily different parts, but with fasteners, fittings and thing likes that included, the part count gets kinda high). I'd appreciate any feedback!

I have a one PC with i5-4440 which has a HD4600 GPU

Don't see any problems, but I don't build aerospace rocket so the assemblies have 2-5 parts.
When I use it I feel it has a room for bigger things.
Give the GPU in the BIOS/UEFI max supported RAM.

Mini-spec:
Intel Core i5-4440
Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H
Plextor 2,5' 128GB, SATA III ( 520/200MB/s ), 9,5mm (PX-128M5S)
Kingston HyperX 2x4GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM XMP (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX)


PS> My station has a i5-2500, 8GB RAM and GTX560 GPU - don't see any difference when working.
