BricsCAD system requirements and recommendations.
| Supported Operating Systems | Notes |
|---|---|
| Although other operating systems are well supported if you are purchasing a new system with the sole purpose of CAD we would recommend a Microsoft Windows based system which will give you better support and customisation options due to the wide variety of extensions available. |
| Minimum | Recommended | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 AMD Ryzen™ 5 | Recommended CPU: Intel® Core™ i7 Intel® Core™ i9 AMD Ryzen™ 7 AMD Ryzen™ 9 | The CPU with the highest single-thread performance rating will always excel with BricsCAD. Additional CPU cores will bring in higher performance, as more and more functions gets multithreaded computation in BricsCAD. |
| Minimum System Memory: 8 GB | Recommended System Memory: 16 GB | For maximum performance, determine the memory configuration of your PC and ensure that each memory channel on the motherboard is populated with at least one memory module. |
| Minimum Disk Space: 3 GB for BricsCAD Ultimate, installed | Recommended Disk Space: (As needed) | We strongly recommend using SSD (Sata 3 / PCI-E NVME) as system drives, for both BricsCAD and Windows. Solid-state disks can be up to 10x faster reading and 20x faster writing data than a mid-range hard disk drive. |
| Minimum Display System: Full HD (1920 x 1080) True Color display and a graphics card with 4 GB VRAM | Recommended Display System: Multiple UHD (3840 x 2160) or 4k True Color displays, with a PCIe® graphics card w/GPUs and 8 GB VRAM | On Microsoft Windows systems, most graphics cards & GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel® are supported. We suggest that you install the latest drivers available for your display hardware, as recommended by the manufacturer. |
