KeyShot System
Requirements

KeyShot is designed to run fast on the most basic hardware configurations or the most powerful of systems to take full advantage of all CPU cores available and scale performance linearly. To get started, here are the minimum recommendations and system requirements for the latest version of KeyShot.

Minimum Requirements

  • 64-bit platform
  • 4GB RAM
  • Quad core CPU1
  • OpenGL 2.0 capable system2
  • Intel or AMD 64 bit processor with SSE4.1 or higher
  • 1920 x 1080 resolution or higher
  • Internet connection (to activate product)

[1] KeyShot will utilize all available CPU cores. Therefore, more CPU cores/threads will produce faster rendering times.

[2] While KeyShot doesn’t require GPU for rendering, certain UI elements in KeyShot require a GPU with support for OpenGL 2.0 and up.
