What do I need to run FracSIS?
Because FracSIS is 3D visualisation software, a highend graphics card is essential.
And as with any software that has intensive graphics capability, the more 'grunt' you can have in your computer, the better.
FracSIS 5.x: System Requirements
| Minimal | Optimal | |
|---|---|---|
| Computer (CPU) | P4 with 2.4 GHz CPU | P4 with 3+ GHz CPU |
| Memory | 1GB RAM | 2GB+ RAM |
| Graphics Card** | 'high speed' 3D Graphics Card with dedicated video memory and OpenGL 1.3 support† | 'high speed' 3D Graphics Card with dedicated video memory and OpenGL1.5 support† |
| Operating System | Windows 2000 with service pack 1, or Windows XP (Windows Vista is not yet supported) |
|
| Peripherals | CD-ROM 2+ button mouse |

Graphics cards and memory
** The main criterion for graphics cards is the reliability of the OpenGL drivers.
† Extra memory enables faster rendering of images and higher resolution. This is particularly important when working with textures, which consume a lot of memory. For the best performance, use mid- to high-end, professional-level 3D graphics cards from ATI or NVIDIA. These cards should have their own memory and not share memory with the system.
Other requirements
Other requirements such as disk space and database and licence server specifications will depend on the amount of data stored and anticipated network traffic. These requirements will be detailed prior to purchase and recommendations will be made based on your expected usage. For more information, contact .
