[Qgis-user] QGIS benchmarking

[Karlo no Dabas maajas]

Hi,

Is there any standardized benchmarking for QGIS to create a reference 
table for minimum hardware requirements needed to perform specific tasks?

I was surprised by the statement, “My old computer cannot support a more 
recent version.” It’s likely that the computer in question struggles 
with the operating system (e.g., Microsoft Windows) rather than QGIS 
itself. For instance, macOS High Sierra supports more recent QGIS 
versions, so a Mac is unlikely to be the issue.

To clarify, I’ve successfully performed resource-intensive tasks using 
QGIS 3.38 on a 13-year-old Dell Inspiron (8 GB RAM, Intel Core i3-2370M 
CPU) running a Linux-based system. I see no significant barriers to 
upgrading to the latest QGIS version, aside from my own reluctance to 
update.

I’d appreciate any insights on standardized benchmarking or hardware 
recommendations for QGIS.

Best regards,
Karlis
