Vectorworks with Vision requires a dedicated graphics card supporting GL_ARB_draw_buffers extension with 4GB of VRAM or more, preferably released in the past three years (e.g., NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 series, AMD Radeon RX Vega series). Installing Vectorworks on flash storage (SSD) is recommended.įor medium-size projects, complex models/drawings with a medium level of details (such as small commercial projects, mid-size entertainment venues, residential site modeling)Ħ4-bit Intel Core i5 (or AMD equivalent) clocked at 2GHz or betterĪ dedicated OpenGL 2.1 compatible graphics card with 2GB-4GB of VRAM or more Vectorworks with Vision requires a dedicated graphics card supporting GL_ARB_draw_buffers extension with 8GB of VRAM or more, preferably released in the past three years (e.g., NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 TI series, AMD Radeon RX 5000 series). 30GB or more is required for a full installation with all libraries.įor large projects, complex and very detailed models/drawings, complex renderings (such as large BIM projects, large entertainment venues, commercial sites, GIS, high-end landscaping design, photorealistic rendering)Ħ4-bit Intel Core i7 (or AMD equivalent) clocked at 3GHz or betterĪ dedicated OpenGL 2.1 compatible graphics card with 4GB of VRAM or more Using multiple view panes with different visibilities in all panes requires a graphics card with at least 2GB of VRAM.ġ0GB free disk space is required for the installation. Vectorworks with Vision requires a dedicated graphics card supporting GL_ARB_draw_buffers extension with 2GB of VRAM or more, preferably released in the past three years (e.g., NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 series, AMD Radeon RX 500 series).

Some integrated graphics cards such as Intel Iris graphics are acceptable for simple models/drawings, but a dedicated graphics card is preferable. OpenGL 2.1 compatible graphics card with 1GB of VRAM or more Likewise, there are some less demanding situations where Vectorworks will perform well on older hardware.įor small projects, simple models/drawings with a low level of detail, simple renderings (such as small residential projects, small theaters, small landscaping design)Ħ4-bit Intel Core i5 (or AMD equivalent) or better In some demanding cases, we would suggest a more capable machine than is described in these hardware profiles. The following are real-world system requirements for running Vectorworks 2020.
