System Requirements

The necessary system performance depends on the size of the project you are working on. While Depence is a graphically intense software, the graphics hardware is of course one of the most important components. Depence also takes advantage of multi-core CPUs.

Minimum System Requirements

  • Microsoft® Windows® 10/11 64-Bit

  • CPU's with high single thread performance

  • 16 GB RAM

  • Dedicated gaming graphic card with min 6GB VRAM

  • One free USB port for USB-License Dongle

Recommended System

  • Microsoft® Windows® 11 64-Bit

  • Intel i9-13900K or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X

  • 64 GB RAM

  • NVIDIA RTX4080, RTX4090 or latest

  • One free USB port for USB-License Dongle

  • Fast SSD Drive

Internet access is required for the initial installation and for the automatic asset library & software updates.

Depence on Mac (ARM CPUs)

Since Depence R4 and Windows 11 version 24H2, it is possible to install and run Depence on a machine with an ARM CPU. This also includes Apple computers with Apple Silicon using Parallels Desktop with latest Windows 11 ARM.

This is currently in an experimental state! Crashes or poor performance may occur!
