Hey,
Just wondering if the new Macbook Pro 16" with AMD Radeon Pro 5500M is Houdini Compatible?
It's hard to tell from the supported graphics cards web page:

I'm running H18 on the new MBP 16 right now and the viewport looks snappy for the most part.
…I'm seeing VERY slow startup and updates of the Render viewport. Seems MUCH slower there, for some reason.
Perhaps a licensing issue. I had a hell of a time getting Houdini running again after migrating from my old laptop.

How are you getting on now with the MBP16 + AMD Radeon Pro 5500M? Does an unsupported card make it un-useable?
Seemingly I get lots of little render errors on my MBP with an unsupported Radeon R9 M370X. Things like lights never leaving despite the fact they've been deleted.
Would using an exterior GPU be an option? Such as the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64
