What Hardware Does KeyShot Need – Get Maximum Performance
For a Smooth 3D Rendering Experience
KeyShot is designed to run quickly on both basic hardware configurations as well as high-performance systems.
Here are the minimum recommendations and system requirements for the latest version of KeyShot to ensure a smooth start for you.
Minimum Requirements
- 64-bit platform
- 4GB RAM
- Quad-core CPU
- OpenGL 2.0 capable system
- Intel or AMD 64-bit processor with SSE4.1 or higher
- Resolution 1920 x 1080 or higher
- Internet connection (for product activation)
[1] KeyShot utilises all available CPU cores. More CPU cores/threads will result in faster rendering times.
[2] While KeyShot does not require a GPU for rendering, certain UI elements in KeyShot need a GPU with OpenGL 2.0 support or higher.
- Windows 10 or 11
- Windows Server 2019
or later
- macOS 11.7 BigSur or later
