SOLIDWORKS2025_PC_Requirements

SOLIDWORKS 2025 requires an x86_64 processor, a minimum of 16 GB RAM (32 GB recommended), and a certified GPU with at least 4 GB video memory. It is recommended to use an SSD with at least 512 GB capacity and Windows 11 Professional or Enterprise 64-bit. For optimal performance, a 24-inch or larger monitor with 1920x1080 resolution or higher is suggested, along with considerations for virtualization and antivirus software.

- Requirement: x86_64 (Intel 64 or AMD64) processor.
- Recommendation: Intel 13th or 14th Generation CPUs (Intel Core i7/i9) or AMD Ryzen 7/9.
Prioritize higher clock speeds, as SOLIDWORKS benefits from faster single-core performance.

Memory (RAM):
- Minimum: 16 GB.
- Recommendation: 32 GB for general CAD tasks. 64 GB or more for simulations/rendering.
ECC RAM is recommended for maximum stability.

Graphics Card (GPU):


- Requirement: Certified graphics card with at least 4 GB video memory.
- Recommendation: NVIDIA RTX series (RTX 4000 Ada Generation or higher).

Storage:
- Recommendation: SSD with at least 512 GB capacity.
For large assemblies, simulations, or rendering tasks, consider a 1 TB or larger NVMe/PCIe SSD.

Operating System:
- Requirement: Windows 11 Professional or Enterprise 64-bit.
Windows 10 support ends in October 2025.

Display:
- Recommendation: 24-inch or larger monitor with 1920x1080 resolution or higher.
For 4K monitors, ensure they are at least 27 inches for readability.

Additional Considerations:
- Hypervisors: If using a virtualized environment, ensure compatibility with VMware vSphere ESXi
8.0.1 U1 or Microsoft Hyper-V 2022.
- Antivirus Software: Use a trusted antivirus and create exemptions for SOLIDWORKS file types to
improve performance.
By following these recommendations, you can ensure a stable and efficient experience with
SOLIDWORKS 2025.
