Can you run Rhino 8?
Rhino 8 targets a mainstream modern PC: OpenGL 4.1 capable video card with 4GB VRAM and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA RTX or AMD Radeon RX with 8GB VRAM for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.43x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.93x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.86x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher states 1440p as the target, which is used as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
