Supported Graphics Cards
These requirements are for basic Blender operation, rendering using the GPU requires slightly different requirements. Always make sure to install the latest drivers from the graphics card manufacturer website.
- NVIDIA: GeForce 200 and newer, Quadro Tesla architecture and newer, with NVIDIA drivers (list of all GeForce and Quadro GPUs)
- AMD: GCN 1st gen and newer (list of all AMD GPUs)
- Intel: Haswell and newer (list of all Intel GPUs)
- macOS: version 10.12 or newer with supported hardware
In order to use the GPU for rendering your hardware needs to fulfill the requirements listed in the documentation. GPU rendering on macOS with AMD graphic cards has been discontinued due to Apple deprecating their OpenCL compiler.
Benchmarking information are available at Blender Open Data.
