modo has been developed to ensure broad hardware and software support, still, the creation of 3D modeling and rendering can push the limits of even the most powerful computer. For the best overall experience when using modo, we recommend users systems comply with the minimum requirements outlined below. As in all things 3D, the more "horsepower" you have, so to speak, the better.

TIP: Many systems (especially laptops) include what is called an 'integrated graphics adapter', the necessary component in a computer to display images on your screen. These systems, while economical, often share memory with the CPU and are designed more for power saving than for performance with their drivers often barely or very poorly supporting standards necessary to modo. Many issues in modo can be traced to the graphics adapters and their drivers. Luxology highly recommends the use of a discreet graphics adapter (often branded by ATI or Nvidia) for the best overall user experience.
