UltraHD Recommended Specifications

UltraHD Recommended Specifications

Our new UltraHD rendering feature performs best with a Graphics Card (GPU). While rendering using the processor (CPU) is feasible for machines without GPUs, it will display reduced speed performance compared to those with GPU. Previously, higher-end CPUs were recommended - but with a GPU for rendering, their importance diminishes.

Minimum Specification Requirement to use Ultra-HD
 
CPU
  1. Intel i7, 6th generation processor, or higher
  2. AMD Ryzen 5 or 7, or higher
  3. Quad core 2GHz or higher (not dual core)
 
RAM
8GB of RAM or higher
 
GPU
  1. RTX Nvidia GPU with 8GB of VRAM or higher.
  2. Microsoft Windows 10 or higher
  3. 64 bit operating system
  4. SSD is preferred over a traditional hard drive
