System Requirements for V-Ray
Processor
RAM
V-Ray requires a powerful processor, ideally a
multi-core CPU, for efficient rendering.
Sufficient RAM is crucial for handling large
scene files and complex renderings.
Graphics Card
Storage
A dedicated GPU, especially a high-end card, can
significantly accelerate rendering.
V-Ray requires ample storage space for storing
project files and render output.
