System Requirements for SOLIDWORKS Visualize

For optimal performance and setup of SOLIDWORKS Visualize and SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost, follow these guidelines prior to installation:

• Ensure you have a separate serial number for each product before installing SOLIDWORKS Visualize and SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost.
• Verify that every computer running SOLIDWORKS Visualize or SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost meets the requirements listed in System Requirements.
• Install the SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost application on dedicated rendering computers within the same network. These computers should be different from those running SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional to offload rendering tasks.
• If an applicable GPU is not found, SOLIDWORKS Visualize as well as SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost default to the central processing unit (CPU) instead. See SOLIDWORKS Hardware Certification for more information on specific graphics cards and drivers.
