System Requirements

Carlson IntelliCAD modules

Carlson 2025 with IntelliCAD v12.1

- Compatible with Windows OS 10 & 11, 64-bit versions

Computer Hardware Requirements

Minimum Intel® i7 processor or faster recommended. Due to the variety of processors on the market, one can use cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to do a comparative analysis. While the overall processor score matters, the single thread performance is of the most interest.

- 16 GB+ RAM recommended

- 256 GB SSD hard drive

Graphics card compatible with OpenGL Version 1.4 or higher:

- Recommended: desktop graphics level discrete cards (not integrated graphics cards like Intel HD)

- Preferably Nvidia GeForce graphics card due to more consistent driver support

- Discrete ATI/AMD cards will be sufficient, but ATI’s driver support is questionable & user is frequently deferred to the computer OEM for support

- Professional Nvidia Quadro cards are not currently recommended due to driver issues

- Powerful gaming cards are not required and probably would not provide as much benefit as investment in more memory or better CPU
