## **Notes**

1 – Windows 11 is required for running Intel Alder Lake processors.  
2 – [CUDA compute capability and card reference](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)  
3 – With V-Ray 7, using older drivers (less than 495.xx) on Ampere cards may lead to incorrect render results with RTX. More information on V-Ray GPU is available at [V-Ray GPU System Requirements](https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/19958460610577-V-Ray-GPU-minimal-and-recommended-system-requirements).
