About Autodesk Fusion
Fusion is cloud-connected, so an internet connection is a genuine requirement rather than a nicety. Simulation and generative design workloads run on Autodesk’s cloud rather than locally.
What PC do I need for Autodesk Fusion?
For a comfortable experience, the publisher's recommended specification asks for the following. This is their figure, not our estimate.
- Graphics card
- DirectX 11 capable GPU with 4 GB VRAM or more
- Processor
- 6 cores or greater, 3 GHz or greater
- Memory
- 16 GB RAM
- Storage
- 10 GB
- Operating system
- Windows 10 64-bit or later
Not sure how your parts compare? Run the check above or read what these tiers mean.
Can my laptop run Autodesk Fusion?
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 DirectX 11 capable GPU with 4 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.
