Vectorworks requires a 64-bit processor and operating system.
For large projects, complex and very detailed models and drawings, large BIM projects, commercial sites, GIS, high-end landscape design and photorealistic rendering.
Operating system: Windows 11 | Windows 10 (64-bit)
Processor: 3.0GHz Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 with 8 cores or better
RAM: 32GB or more
Graphics card: DirectX 11 compatibel with 8GB VRAM or more (e.g. NVIDIA)*
12GB VRAM is recommended when using multiple displays or a 4K or higher resolution display.
Display resolution: 1920x1080 or better
Installing Vectorworks on flash storage (SSD) is recommended.
For large projects, complex and very detailed models and drawings, large BIM projects, commercial sites, GIS, high-end landscape design and photorealistic rendering.
Operating system: Windows 11 | Windows 10 (64-bit)
Processor: 2.0 GHz Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 with 6 cores or better
RAM: 16GB or more
Graphics card: DirectX 11 compatibel with 4GB VRAM or more (e.g. NVIDIA)*
8GB VRAM is recommended when using multiple displays or a 4K or higher resolution display.
Display resolution: 1920x1080 or better
Installing Vectorworks on flash storage (SSD) is recommended.
For small projects, simple models and drawings with a low level of detail and simple renderings.
Operating system: Windows 11 | Windows 10 (64-bit)
Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5, or better
RAM: 8GB or more
Graphics card: DirectX 11 compatibel with 2GB VRAM or more.*
Intel Iris Plus/Pro/Xe is acceptable for simple models/drawing, but we strongly recommend a dedicated graphics card. 4GB VRAM is recommended when using multiple displays or a 4K or higher resolution display.
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)
ATTENTION
Renderworks requires AVX support on AMD and Intel CPUs
