KeyShot Studio 2025.2+ Minimum System Requirements

Minimum System Requirements

Platform

64-bit platform
Windows
- Windows 10 (at least 22H2) - Windows 11
- Windows Server 2019 - Windows Server 2022
MacOS
- Ventura 13 - Sequoia 15
Linux (Network Rendering only)
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS(5.4 kernel) - Ubuntu 21.04 (22.04 kernel)
- Other distributions with glibc version 2.23

RAM

minimum: 4GB RAM
recommended: 16GB RAM and up

CPU

Quad-core CPU^{^1'}
Intel or AMD 64-bit processor with SSE4.1 or higher

GPU

OpenGL 2.0 capable system²³
For the GPU Mode:
- Nvidia
  - Maxwell architecture or higher
    - Recommended architecture is Turing or newer
  - Ideally at least 8GB of dedicated VRAM
  - Consumer/Gaming Cards:
    - GeForce RTX: 20-Series, 30-Series, 40-Series, 50-Series³
    - TITAN RTX
  - Professional/Workstation Cards:
    - RTX A-Series: A2000 to A6000
    - Quadro Series: GV100, GP100, P400+, P1000+, P3200+, M2000+
  - Minimum driver version: 572.16
  - KeyShot Studio GPU mode supports memory scaling for setups with multiple GPUs connected with NVIDIA NVLink. For example, two NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 GPUs will provide a combined 96 GB of GPU memory. When you have multiple GPUs connected with NVLink, you will see a difference in the available GPU Memory within the Heads Up Display in the Real-time view.

- AMD
  - RDNA 3 architecture and newer
  - Radeon RX 7600 or above
  - Minimum driver version: 23.30
  - Multiple GPUs can be used to improve performance.
    Be aware that memory sharing is not supported and the implementation does not support AMDs MGPU or CrossFire features.
For AI Shots:
- KeyShot recommends all NVIDIA RTX GPUs that launched in the last three years and have at least 16GB of VRAM. Newer cards with more VRAM are preferable.
  
  While running AI Shots on the CPU and with AMD (RDNA3 and newer, dedicated GPUs only) and Apple (ARM-based) GPUs is possible, NVIDIA GPUs currently offer by far the best performance. The amount of VRAM determines the maximum resolution of generated images.

Display Device

1080p/15.6” or higher

Network

Internet connection (to activate product)

[1] KeyShot will utilize all available CPU cores. Therefore, more CPU cores/threads will produce faster rendering times.

[2] While KeyShot doesn’t require GPU for rendering, certain UI elements in KeyShot require a GPU with support for OpenGL 2.0 and up.

[3] Blackwell cards require a CUDA update that is not yet available in KeyShot Studio 2025.2, but is included in 2025.3 and the beta.

Please note that the Beta might still be prone to bugs and is not supported, so it is recommended to install it and its resource folder to a separate location and to not use it for production work, or at least keeping a healthy amount of backups.

Intel GPUs are not supported by the GPU Mode and might cause a crash. Please refer to this guide if you have a integrated Intel GPU or the Intel GPU is the only one in your system
