• Will Parallels/VMWare Fusion run the software?
  Parallels 15 is not suggested (our software encounters delays in Parallels 15) and VMWare Fusion will not work.

Video Card Comparisons

A dedicated DirectX 11 video card with a minimum benchmark score of 1500 is required to run the software correctly. Benchmark scores show how powerful each video card is. The higher the score, the more powerful the card. How do I find the hardware on my current computer?

Note: Integrated cards, such as Intel cards or Quadro and FirePro/FireGL are not supported.

Below are comparisons of video cards that meet and exceed our minimum requirements:
