HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

Intel® Pentium® 4 or comparable (minimum), Intel i7 or at least Intel i5 or comparable (recommended). Due to the variety of processors on the market, one can use cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to do comparative analysis. While the overall processor score matters, the single thread performance is of the most interest.

• 32-bit Windows 7-8.1: 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended.
• 64-bit Windows 7-10: 2 GB of RAM minimum, 8+ GB recommended.
• Windows Vista: 1 GB of RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended.
• Windows XP: 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM minimum, 2 GB recommended.

Graphics card compatible with OpenGL Version 1.4 or higher:

• Recommended are desktop graphics level discrete (not integrated cards like Intel HD) graphics cards.
• Preferably Nvidia Geforce due to their more consistent driver support.
• Discrete ATI/AMD cards will be adequate, but ATI’s driver support has been spotty and user is frequently deferred to the computer manufacturer for support.
• Professional Nvidia Quadro cards are not currently recommended due to driver issues.
• Powerful gaming cards are not required and probably would not provide as much benefit as investment in more memory or better CPU
