How about Apple Computers?

Will the software run on Mac OS?
No, the software cannot be installed on OSX.

Will Parallels/VMWare Fusion run the software?
Parallels and VMWare Fusion will not work.

Will Bootcamp run the software?
Bootcamp is not supported and tends to cause crashes; however, in some cases, Bootcamp will work.

Do you plan to add a version for Apple Mac Computers?
We currently have no plans to make the software available on OSX.

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.

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: Nvidia RadeonDesktopCards
