For the best experience with Aurora, it's important to ensure your computer meets our minimum specifications. We recommend using Aurora on a computer that meets these requirements:
| Minimum -Residential Projects | Minimum -Commercial Projects | Recommended -All Projects | |
| Processor (CPU) | i5 dual-core 2Ghz+ | i5 dual-core 2Ghz+ | i7, dual/quad-core 2.5Ghz+ |
| Memory (RAM) | 4Gb | 8Gb | 8Gb |
| Graphics Card (GPU) | Integrated GPU (such as Intel Iris e.t.c. with 1.5Gb+ memory) |
Recommended: Discreet nVidia/AMD GPU Less optimal: Integrated GPU (Intel Iris with 2Gb memory e.t.c.) will work, but might be slow, especially if using a high-res monitor (1980x1080 and above). |
Discreet nVidia / AMD GPUs released after 2015 with 2Gb+ memory (4Gb ideal for large >7Mw projects). Ideally - GeForce 9xx, 10xx series* or newer or AMD Radeon 4xx, 5xx series or newer |
*2015+ GeForce Quadro GPU series also has great performance and fall under "Recommended / Ideal" section
