[Qgis-user] Recommended hardware requierements in 2025

Wed Apr 9 00:44:13 PDT 2025

Dear community,

I am currently planning the acquisition of a new work laptop and would like to ensure that the device is optimally suited for working with QGIS in 2025.
Could you please advise on the recommended system requirements for a smooth and reliable experience with QGIS, particularly regarding the necessity of a dedicated graphics card? With the performance improvements in the latest high-end CPUs from Intel and AMD, is a dedicated GPU still essential for most use cases, or are integrated solutions now sufficient?
Additionally, I would appreciate your insight into which specific application scenarios still benefit significantly from a dedicated graphics card when working with QGIS or related geospatial tools.
Thank you very much in advance for your support.

Best regards

Johannes
