Processor
Keyshot is designed to take advantage of multiple CPU cores, and users should choose a CPU with the highest core count possible. CPU frequency affects performance to a certain extent, but core count is far more important.
Not all user workflows are the same though, so be sure and contact us for an optimized configuration.
Memory
The amount of memory you will need depends on how many programs you will have open at any given time alongside Keyshot, and how large the files are that you will be working with.
A good starting point in deciding how much RAM you should go for would be to check your current usage via Windows Task Manager.
Graphics Card
Keyshot does not require a powerful GPU, as only the CPU is used for rendering. A mid-range card would offer the best value.
As always, you should keep in mind other software you use that could rely more on GPU power.
Storage
In the past, computers were held back by slow mechanical hard drives.
Unless you are storing files which are not accessed too often, in which case mechanical hard drives might be a better choice, Solid State drives should be used for everything else.
Having everything stored on SSDs means you’ll be able to copy, move, open and save files quickly and PC and program start times will be reduced.
