What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen™ 5 1400 or Intel® Core™ i5-6600, 8 GB RAM and AMD Radeon™ RX 470, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 / 1060 or Intel® Arc™ A580. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 115GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
