System requirements for UXP applications (Win)

Post by Moonchild » 2018-07-29, 17:41

To take away any confusion about the minimum system requirements for all UXP applications on Windows, here they are:
  • A processor with AVX support (won't run on ancient toasters).
  • Windows 7 or later with service packs and updates applied.
    Windows Vista is NOT supported.
  • 1-2 GB of RAM that isn't all gobbled up by other applications -- more definitely advised.
  • At least 200 MB of HDD space to install and run -- more definitely advised.
  • A graphics chip or card with at least 256MB of VRAM available.
For best performance, recommended is a multi-core processor, 4GB of RAM or more and a dedicated GPU.
