For medium-sized projects, complex models and drawings with a medium level of detail.
Installing Vectorworks on flash storage (SSD) is recommended.
For small projects, simple models and drawings with a low level of detail and simple renderings.
For Vectorworks Vision, your graphics card must support OpenGL 4.1 (or better) and have at least 8GB of VRAM, preferably released in the past 3 years (e.g. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX). No built-in graphics card with RAM.
Apple M1 and later Macs share memory for general processing and graphics applications. We recommend more memory for these systems than for traditional systems where RAM and VRAM are separate.
Renderworks will not work on older Intel Macs that are missing AVX support, even if macOS 11 is installed on them by bypassing official Apple installers.
