Frequently Asked Questions

How much RAM does Blender need?
The minimum is 8 GB. We recommend 32 GB for a smooth experience. Power users or those handling large files should aim for 64 GB or more.
Does Blender require a dedicated graphics card?
Yes, Blender requires a dedicated GPU for full performance. Look for at least 8 GB of VRAM. A laptop with integrated graphics only will likely struggle to run it properly.
How much storage does Blender need?
