As software continues to evolve, always refer to the official Optitex system requirements page or the software's release notes for the most up-to-date recommendations for your specific build. Choosing the right hardware for your needs will empower you to fully leverage the powerful capabilities of Optitex 21.
Intel Core i7 or i9 (11th Gen+) or AMD Ryzen 7/9. High clock speed is more important than the number of cores for 2D work.
O/Cloud is optimized for the latest versions of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox . Optitex 21 System Requirements-
A professional-grade mouse with a clickable scroll wheel is essential for 3D navigation. A high-resolution mouse helps with precise pattern drafting.
Note: Optitex utilizes NVIDIA CUDA cores for its 3D engine. Avoid AMD Radeon cards if you want the fastest 3D rendering speeds. 512 GB or 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD.
