Tested Workstation Hardware

The configurations listed below are those that Foundry have tested with Mari. Due to the constantly changing nature, and wide variety, of computer hardware available in the market, Foundry are unable to officially certify hardware. The below can be used as a recommendation and does not guarantee that it meets your particular needs.

Please download and install the latest graphics driver for the NVIDIA or AMD websites, and ensure that you are using 8.982.1 drivers or higher for AMD cards.
