System Requirements
- Windows 10 or later, with the Visual Studio 2019 redistributable.
- Linux with at least glibc 2.17 and libstdc++ 4.8.5 (gcc 4.8.5). This is equivalent to RHEL 7. For Katana 7.0 and newer, an equivalent of RHEL 8 or newer is required.
- x86-64 CPUs need to support the SSE4.1 instruction set.
- GPU rendering and Optix denoising work on Windows and Linux only, and require an NVIDIA GPU with the Maxwell architecture or later.
- On Linux, we recommend 560.35.03 or higher drivers.
- On Windows, we recommend 560.76 or higher drivers.
- Katana Katana 6.0v1 or newer, Katana 6.5v1 or newer, Katana 7.0v1 or newer, Katana 7.5v1 or newer, or Katana 8.0v1 or newer.
- Intel OIDN GPU support is limited to:
- Windows
- Intel Xe dedicated and integrated GPUs
- NVIDIA GPUs using Turing or newer architectures
- AMD GPUs with RDNA2 (Navi 21 only) and RDNA3 (Navi 3x) architectures
- Windows
