Due to graphics limitations, we do not support the use of Avontus Designer on a virtual machine or remote desktop.

### Recommended Hardware

These are our recommended computer hardware specifications to run Avontus Designer at peak performance, especially for large projects. The parts in **bold** are those with the greatest impact on Avontus Designer's performance.

- Processor:  Intel Core i7 6700HQ or better (2.50 GHz+)
- **Memory**: 16 GB RAM (32 GB or more recommended)
- Hard Disk: SSD hard drive (4 GB available disk space to install)

As a general rule, a good gaming PC or CAD PC will support Avontus Designer. Like any CAD or design application, a computer with better hardware specifications will be able to work with larger drawings without experiencing a decrease in performance.
