I'm considering getting a thunderbolt laptop to use in a new vMix Thunder system. I see the compatible Thunderbolt v1 systems have Nvidia GTX 970m or 980m graphics cards. The compatible Thunderbolt v2 systems have Nvidia quadro graphic cards. Does anyone have experience with both? What are the performance differences. Can a Quadro card handle 3 HD inputs and some graphics for recording and streaming? Is the extra bandwidth of the TB v2 really needed?

Thanks in advance

Kelvin

After reading the Thunder documentation, I decided to go with an ASUS ROG laptop with Thunderbolt v1 and Nvidia 980m video. vMix is optimized for the GTX cards. Instead of the Aja io4k, I purchased a sonnet pci-e enclosure for my Magewell SDI card and Viewcast SD card. It give me the flexibility to do both HD and SD over the AJA.

Still in the testing phases, but plan to use in at the end of August for a 2 day marathon webcast.
