Maxwell Render V4 System Requirements

Maxwell Render V4 System Requirements

The minimum system requirements for Maxwell Render V4 are as follows:

Windows

  • Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Windows Server 2012 or Windows 10
  • 2 GHz IntelĀ® Core2 processor, AMD Athlon 64 or better
  • 1GB RAM minimum. 4 GB of RAM memory is highly recommended
  • 400 MB available hard disk space for installation
  • Accelerated OpenGL drivers
  • 3 button mouse recommended

MacOS 

  • MacOS 10.11 and 10.12
  • 1 GB RAM minimum. 4 GB of RAM memory is highly recommended
  • 400 MB available hard disk space for installation
  • 3 button mouse recommended

GPU engine

  • Graphics cards that support CUDA platform (Nvidia), running on Windows.
  • Maxwell and Pascal architectures are supported (for reference you can check this link); it could work on Kepler architecture but it could be unstable and the experience won't be good.

Denoiser

  • Denoiser is capable of running on CPU or GPU, with NvidiaAMD and Intel graphics cards; it works with CUDA (Nvidia) and also can work using OpenCL either in GPU (Nvidia, AMD or Intel) or CPU.
  • When using GPU, we recommend having a graphics card with at least 2.5GB. This number is actually dependent on frame size, 2.5GB is for 2k square imagery.
  • When using Nvidia CUDA, the drivers should support at least CUDA 7.0
  • When using AMD, the Catalyst driver should be up to date.
  • In the case you get an error message when using CPU about OpenCL ICDs, it will probably be solved by installing one of these packages depending on your graphics card:
  • The Denoiser will first try to use CUDA, if it doesn't find a compatible card, it will fallback to OpenCL GPU (usually with AMD and Intel cards) and then OpenCL with CPU.

 

Maxwell 4 is compiled for 64-bit ONLY. It requires a 64-bit machine and a 64-bit operating system. Plugins are available only for 64-bit builds of their respective host platforms.
