Hardware Specifications#
Minimum Requirements#
Minimum implies that the engine will start and run a project with simplified visuals. However for developing and running complex projects, we advise to consider the recommended configuration below.
| CPU: | x64 processors with SSE4.2 support starting with quad-core Intel or AMD with 2.5+ GHz frequency. |
|---|---|
| RAM: | 4 GB or more. |
| Storage: | At least 50 GB free space.
It is recommended to use an SSD storage device for best performance. |
| GPU: | Graphics cards with support for DirectX 11 or OpenGL 4.5+. |
| VRAM: | 2 GB or more. |
Notice
For OpenGL users:
Note that some GL features are available for NVIDIA GPU only and may not work / lead to driver crashes with AMD or Intel GPUs. Moreover, DirectX performance is 20-30% higher. Please, keep that in mind.

GPU#
We strongly recommend using one graphic card in PC.
Notice
- Even if UNIGINE cannot recognize a graphics card, it still can detect the card's capabilities and use available features.
- For optimal experience it is strongly recommended to use up-to-date video drivers.
