🧵 Is Wacom Intuos5 Touch obsolete?
Anonymous at Mon, 20 Sep 2021 13:59:55 UTC No. 851923
I am buying a graphic tablet to improve my 3D skills and I can get a really good deal for Intuos5, but it's almost a decade old technology. Is it obsolete? Should I rather buy a newer model or is it about the same?

buy new or an Intuos 3
the best ever made, not supported anymore but last drivers still work
using it with mac and windows
occasionally it's wonky but nothing a reboot can't fix

I can’t get Intuos 3. This one is large format for 150$. In very good condition, not used much. The thing I worry about is the delay. How much better is new one in terms of lag? Why would Intuos 3 be better?

no, wacom is always good,not like those chink tablets
just get the older drivers because the new ones cause a lot of issues with the old tablets

I use an intuos pro touch s from 2013 and it works well with Zbrush 2021

Thank you for the advice! I hope it works as expected. Because I tried Intous Pro and it had a little delay, so I suspected that older technology should have even more.

Intuos 5 is fine. Pressure levels are a meme, the Intuos 5 is just as good as the current Intuos Pros.
Just make sure you don't buy any of that chinese crap like huion.

Honestly I expected better quality from Wacom as well. Even iPad is more responsive and more durable for half the price. Or you can get Wacom for half the price of an iPad, without the screen, doing only drawing.

>Careful goy! Don't buy identical hardware for a fraction of the price, it might not work reliably!

I have that exact tablet and it works fine on linux (for signing various e-documents, I don't use it for much else these days).

I want to get a Wacom too. I assume they can work for both sculpting and drawing? I would like to do both on the same tablet.
Any good recommendations that aren't too expensive?

I don’t want to be tied either to a Wacum that milks you with tips that get shredded on an epic TEXTURED cover but Chinese ‘alternatives’ have dogshit drivers don’t ‘werks on me machine’ @me.

I was just wondering if old ones like pic related have more delay than the newer models. The delay factor is the most annoying part.

Intuos (non pro) bluetooth medium.

Wacom drivers are also dogshit. For some reason it's simply impossible to make graphics tablet drivers that just werk, no matter who you are.

Go with Wacom. Using an Intuos 4 as I write this. No issues once you disable those annoying windows pen and ink bubbles. I use it for Maya, Photoshop, ZBrush. Do it

On windows you can go to services and restart drivers, you won't have to do a reboot if you do so

DESU I don't think it really matters. I literally use this 20 dollarydoo OSU tablet for my sculpting and texture painting and it works fine. I've owned windows tablets with wacom digitizers in the past as well as some Monoprice ones and they all are pretty similar, only major diff being texture and area.

Does it have more delay than newer ones or about the same?

if you have delay in your cursor is the hardware of the pc
using integrated graphics vs a gpu, and he delay dissapears with the gpu
vega 12 igpu vs rx 570

If you can I would save up for a Wacom Cintiq I have tried a Huion and an XP and both died within 3 months and have had no issues with my Intous 5, Mobile Studio 13, or Cintiq 24in... Defiantly worth the price for no issues over 4 years.
Yes you can sculpt with any of these Zbrush runs fine with them just depends on preference and price range. They do offer financing too I think a 24in cintiq is 200~ a month....

OP here, I got the Intuos 5, for now it works better than expected. I need to do some testing on the pressure levels. To be honest it works smoother than friend's newer model.

Yes it is obsolete. In fact, all tablets are obsolete. Learn how to sculpt with your mouse like a real man.

Literally the same shit that I use here, it works fine. (Huion F420)

Using mouse is not impossible, just really hard and time-consuming.
