To have a high frame rate during simulations, we recommend a computer with a multicore CPU, 1.6 GB free disk space, at least 2 GB RAM, and a graphics card that meets the latest standards. For more detailed recommendations, contact us at lucidshapeinfo@synopsys.com.
When using LucidDrive, you can increase the graphics performance of your computer if you double the graphics cards, which means that you are using the SLI technology by NVIDIA. There are chipsets that allow more than two cards in a computer. For more detailed recommendations, contact us at lucidshapeinfo@synopsys.com.
A NVIDIA graphic card is required for the GPU Trace.
You can estimate the performance by comparing the bandwidth and the number of CUDA cores available on the card.
