Processor (CPU):The Central Processing Unit (CPU), often referred to as the Processor, is the brain of your computer.

Additionally, computers with gaming video cards typically meet all of our required system specifications. Here is information on why we specifically recommend these video cards.

For best performance, we recommend a gaming class video card with 4GB+ or more of video memory on a Mac, and on a Windows PC NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX series or AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 Series. Gaming video cards do not share computer resources and are designed specifically for 3D rendering tasks used in Chief Architect.

While some integrated (Intel) and workstation cards will work with the software, it may run slower since integrated (Intel) cards share computer resources from the CPU and RAM and workstation cards don’t perform well when doing 3D rendering in Chief. Since Chief Architect is a graphics intensive program, the graphics card is an extremely important part of the computer for day-to-day design work. There are a few types of Video Cards: integrated, workstation, and gaming. Video Card (GPU): Also referred to as the Graphics Card or Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), this is the part of your computer that produces the image you see on your screen.Stores data temporarily for quick access by the application Random Access Memory (RAM): Short term storage Windows computers with ARM processors are not supported.

Video Card (GPU): Produces the image you see on your screen Specification needed to run Chief Architect When computer shopping there is no specific price point you should target, but instead there are certain recommended system specifications you should account for. A computer that may seem like a bargain may be impractical for running a 3D program like Chief Architect. The principle of ensuring you have the correct tools in the field, also applies to the tools used in the office. Would you attempt to hang drywall for a whole house with a screwdriver or drywall gun? Although a screwdriver is significantly cheaper, it will provide minimum performance whereas a drywall gun will save you an enormous amount of time and energy.

Resources to get you up and running quicklyĬhoosing the right tool for any job is critical.

Investing in the right computer will also help ensure that the computer will run future versions of Chief effectively for a longer period of time, making your investment more cost effective over time.

Because the software is so powerful and robust, a question we often hear at Chief Architect is “what type of computer do I need to run the software”? Many computers are capable of running Chief Architect however, depending on the specs, some will run Chief much more efficiently. From automated features for quickly creating floor plans, section details, and layouts to photo-realistic 3D renders for visualizing the design, the software is a powerful tool for those with residential design needs.
