<p>As a general rule, unless the application is specifically written
to take advantage of the graphics card, you may not see any
noticeable improvement in performance with a graphics card.</p>

There is no set requirement, as hardware requirements vary
depending largely on the data volumes you are
rendering/processing.</div>

More is always better, Windows generally requires more than Mac
& Linux. A graphics processor with its own memory will help
improve performance, but is not required.</div>

I'd suggest minimum is 8gb system memory, at least a 250Gb SSD,
I5 cpu or equivalent. Shared graphics with 256 or 512Gb memory
allocated.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hello,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I am looking for the recommended
hardware requirements for QGIS. We are running Windows 11
and version 3.34 LTR of QGIS and experiencing some crashes
when rendering. I am suspecting that the laptops we have do
not have enough memory in them and am wondering whether a
graphics card with a certain amount of memory is required.</p>
