An open-source slicer for FDM and resin 3D printers.
The publisher has not published a recommended specification for this title.
PrusaSlicer is widely used beyond Prusa hardware. Like other slicers it is CPU-bound, and the preview of a sliced model is the main demand on the graphics card.
For a comfortable experience, the publisher's minimum specification asks for the following. This is their figure, not our estimate.
Not sure how your parts compare? Run the check above or read what these tiers mean.
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 GPU supp 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.
Tell us what’s wrong and we’ll check it against the source.
