We do not recommend or support the use of onboard graphics found with some PC configurations. OpenCL is required for Mastercam to be able to hand off certain computation tasks to the graphics card to increase system performance. Other graphics cards can be used, but they must offer full OpenGL 3.2 and OpenCL 1.2 support. We recommend an NVIDIA Quadro® or AMD FirePro™ / Radeon Pro card with 4GB or more of memory.
When purchasing a new computer for Mastercam, one of the most important component is the video card. For large toolpath generation and simulation, we recommend 32GB of RAM. We recommend a minimum of 8 GB of memory. When Mastercam uses all available RAM, it switches to using virtual memory space, which is stored on the hard drive and will dramatically slow the system down. We typically see a 50% reduction in toolpath calculation time with the latest Intel i7 or Xeon processors. Toolpath calculation and Simulation will generally run faster with a multi-core processor. With each release, more and more aspects of Mastercam are becoming multi-core processor aware. The processor speed will impact how fast the software will calculate and complete tasks. View Detailed Requirements And Suggestions OPERATING SYSTEMSĬNC Software continues to review the operating system (OS) requirements for Mastercam with a goal of providing the best possible user experience for our customers. Solid State Drive (SSD) with at least 20 GB free and a USB 2.0 reader (for installation media)Ĭonnection to Internet and email is recommended for installation, support, and updates. NVIDIA Quadro® or AMD FirePro™ / Radeon Pro card with 4 GB (or higher) dedicated memory. OpenGL 3.2 and OpenCL 1.2 support with 1 GB memory. Intel i7 or Xeon® E3, Kaby Lake or later, 3.2GHz or faster Intel® or AMD 64-bit processor, 2.4 GHz or faster Windows 10 (version 20H2 or later) 64-bit Professional Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit Professional Our recommendation is to get as much power (processor, video card, and memory) for your systems as you can afford. These recommendations are based on systems we have in use at CNC Software for testing and evaluation purposes. See the table below for minimum and recommended system configurations for Mastercam.
