minimum requirements to run Resolve 14 and 15

[Peter Chamberlain]

The minimum hardware and os requirement are clearly defined at the bottom of the read me for every release.

For your config Duke, v15 should be oh for HD media.

I’m not the one complaining about DR performance on my PC, unless you meant “ok” rather than “oh”. It works great even with 4K. I rarely have to generate optimized, just switching to half resolution playback does the trick once I start piling on tweaks.

So you have to download the software before you can figure out whether it makes sense to download the software? Great.

Here’s an idea. Don’t download it. Keep using what you’re using. Everybody’s happy.

Actually you don’t because there’s the “read more” link next to the download buttons on the BMD support page, but you keep whining about every single thing so maybe you’ve made up your mind about it already. The readme does have some minimum specs but probably not as detailed as you would want because there are different kinds of minimum specs depending on what one is trying to accomplish. Do you want to just barely start the program? Do you want to work in HD? Do you want to work in 4K? Do you want to work in 4K in realtime? Etc.

I asked this before but if you can post your computer specs we can help you with this if trying the fully featured free version of the software is out of the question for some reason.

I haven’t been following the attitudes and exchanges here but yes clicking on the “Read More” links on the download descriptions does bring up a page that lists minimum and system requirements for each version. Who’d have guessed? Most software developers don’t hide their requirements so carefully. This is helpful information.
Thanks.
