Questions
- Does Lumion work on a laptop?
- Yes, if the laptop has a dedicated graphics card that meets Lumion’s tier. Pick the laptop version of your card so the check uses its real memory size.
- Does Lumion run on a Mac?
- No. Lumion is Windows only, so every Mac shows as not supported.
- Which graphics cards does Lumion name?
- Lumion lists example cards for each tier. Those cards get a definite verdict; other cards get "Check score" with a link to compare them on PassMark.
