uses the GPU for rendering and 3D simulation. A dedicated graphics card is required. Integrated graphics (like Intel Iris Xe) will not provide a satisfactory experience. The 3D cloth simulator benefits greatly from NVIDIA CUDA technology, making NVIDIA cards the preferred choice. Processor (CPU)

Optitex 21 is designed to work in a networked environment, and the following network requirements must be met: Optitex 21 System Requirements-
Your GPU choice completely dictates your experience in the 3D workspace. Optitex relies on compliant dedicated video cards.
Optitex 21 handles two entirely different workloads: lightweight vector line math within the 2D Pattern Design System (PDS), and heavy matrix physics simulations inside the 3D rendering environment. The system specifications below balance both workloads to prevent lag and software crashes.

speed up software launch times, avatar loading, and fabric library searches.
While 16 GB can manage elementary grading, complex 3D avatars wearing multi-layered garments require a baseline of 32 GB RAM . The 3D cloth simulator benefits greatly from NVIDIA
Running out of RAM will force your computer to use your hard drive as virtual memory, which severely bottlenecks performance.
