RECOMMENDED CARDS:

For ideal performance, we recommend at least a GeForce GRX 285 or ATI Radeon HD 4600 with 1GB of VRAM.

RENDER FARM SUPPORT?

It is possible to use Element on a network render farm but we do not recommend or support it because of inconsistencies of in GPU rendering. Since Element renders with impressive speed on a single GPU it is ideal to pre-render any 3D elements before pushing them to the render farm.
