Discover Twinmotion System Requirements: Minimum and High-end.
Twinmotion, a powerful visualization tool for architects, urban planners, and designers, offers immersive real-time experiences for architectural projects. However, the effectiveness of this software heavily relies on the system it is running on.
Understanding Twinmotion System Requirements is important to ensure a seamless and optimal experience while using the software.
In this post, Chip Render will look into the specifics of Twinmotion System Requirements – both Minimum and High-end as well as specifications for certain features such as Path Tracer and Lumen.
Twinmotion System Requirements: Minimum
For small to average projects with geometry data below 1 GB, meeting the minimum system requirements for Twinmotion is sufficient. This level of specification enables real-time 3D presentations, and HD video generation, and supports all image formats up to 4K resolution.
However, it is important to note that the minimum requirements may not be adequate for more resource-intensive tasks such as VR experiences, rendering 4K videos, or creating 360 panoramic videos within Twinmotion.
Windows
| Operating System | Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit.
Windows 10 64-bit version 1909 revision .1350 or higher, or versions 2004 and 20H2 revision .789 or higher. |
| CPU (Processor) | CPU with a benchmark score of 2000 or higher. For example, Quad-core Intel or AMD, 2.5 GHz or faster. |
| System Memory (RAM) | 16 GB or more. |
| GPU (Graphic Card) | 6 GB dedicated memory GPU. Or GPU with a benchmark score over 10,000 with the latest drivers available.
(Intel ARC GPUs are not officially supported). |
| RHI Version | DirectX 11: Latest drivers.
DirectX 12: Latest drivers. Vulkan: AMD (21.11.3+) and NVIDIA (496.76+). |
| Hard Drive Space | 30 GB of free disk space. |
| DirectX Runtime | DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010). |
macOS
| Operating System | macOS Monterey 12.x.

| Hard Drive Space | 30 GB of free disk space. |
These minimum system requirements serve as a foundational starting point for users working on smaller-scale projects. They offer functionality for various visual presentations but you need higher specifications for more demanding tasks.
Twinmotion System Requirements: High-end
For extensive projects involving large-scale endeavors like airports, large buildings, cities, or vast landscapes with geometry data exceeding 1 GB, the high-end system requirements for Twinmotion are essential. This level of specification enables real-time 3D presentations, and video generation in resolutions up to 8K, and supports 360 panoramic videos, VR presentations, and all image formats.
Windows
| Operating System | Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.

| Hard Drive Space | 30 GB of free disk space.
You should use SSD or HDD hard drives when working on a very large project. Storing your project on an SSD will allow it to load and save faster. |
| DirectX Runtime | DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010). |
macOS
| Operating System | macOS Monterey 12.x.
(macOS Ventura 13.x is not officially supported). |
| CPU (Processor) | CPU with a benchmark score of 2500 or higher. |
| System Memory (RAM) | 64 GB or more. |
| GPU (Graphic Card) | GPU with 12 GB (or more) dedicated memory. Or GPU with a benchmark score over 16,000. |
| Hard Drive Space | 30 GB of free disk space.
You should use SSD or HDD hard drives when working on a very large project. Storing your project on an SSD will allow it to load and save faster. |
These high-end requirements are tailored for handling the complexities of sizable projects. They ensure seamless performance and the creation of immersive, high-quality visual presentations across diverse formats and resolutions within Twinmotion.
Twinmotion System Requirements: Path Tracer
The Path tracer feature in Twinmotion is a progressive rendering mode that produces high-quality photorealistic images with precise lighting and Global Illumination (GI). Twinmotion 2023.1 supports the use of multiple NVIDIA GPUs through SLI. So, you can use multiple GPUs to improve the Path tracer’s rendering performance. You can expect the improved performance somewhere from 50% to 200%.
However, you need to pay attention to the hardware requirements to use the Path Tracer.
Operating System: Windows only, Path Tracer is not supported on macOS.
GPU (Graphic Card): You will need more than 8 GB of VRAM and your GPU will have to support DXR, which requires Windows DirectX 12.
- NVIDIA: Requires RTX 2000 series and above.
- AMD: Requires RX 6000 series and above.
- Besides, make sure to have all the latest drivers installed.
In addition, you can also find Twinmotion System Requirements for Lumen here.
Wrap up
So, you have learned what it takes to run Twinmotion smoothly on your device.
Twinmotion is a robust tool that demands a certain level of system capability for optimal performance. Meeting or surpassing the Minimum (even High-end) Twinmotion System Requirements significantly impacts the software’s functionality and overall user experience.
