- Graphics card
- Certified GPU with 8 GB VRAM or more
- Processor
- 64-bit Intel or AMD multi-core processor
- Memory
- 32 GB RAM
- Storage

Not sure how your parts compare? Run the check above or read what these tiers mean.
Can my laptop run Autodesk Maya?
The same check applies — enter the parts your laptop actually contains. Be aware that a laptop graphics chip is usually slower than the desktop card it shares a name with, because the manufacturer sets a lower power limit. A laptop advertising the Certified GPU with 8 GB VRAM named here may therefore fall somewhat short of it in practice, and sustained performance drops further as the machine heats up. Treat a borderline laptop result as optimistic rather than assured.
