Answered System Reqs

[Peter Rabbit]

Hello lovely people,

I'm thinking about getting down and dirty on the VAM scene but haven't taken the leap yet, mainly because I've got a new PC that is yet to arrive, but I can't see anywhere what the system requirements to run the programme are. Are there any, does anyone know, can someone point in the right direction?

Thank you for your help!

Looking forward to joining the community.

I would use the established VR spec as absolute minimum requirements for VaM. However, you really want all the performance you can afford. VaM makes even absolut High-end PCs scream for mercy. What you especially need for VaM 1.xx is raw single core CPU power. VaM 2.xx is supposed to be a bit better at using multiple cores.

Perfect, that's what I wanted to hear!

Thank you very much.

A couple of people have posted recently about Vam crashing all the time, and it turned out the thing they had in common was having only 8GB of RAM. VaM really needs more than that. Even at 16GB, you need to do a hard reset every now and again to clear things out. I recently upgraded to 32GB, and find VaM memory usage hovers around 20 to 24GB for a 2 person scene.
