Vision requires a dedicated OpenGL 4.1 compatible graphics card with 2GB of VRAM or more, preferably released in the past three years (e.g. Some integrated graphics cards such as Intel Iris Plus/Pro graphics and AMD Radeon RX Vega series are acceptable for very simple models/drawings, but a dedicated graphics card is preferable. 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)ĢGB VRAM or more, macOS: Metal GPUFamily1 or later, Windows: DirectX 11 compatible In some demanding cases, we would suggest a more capable machine than is described in these hardware profiles.
