Pumpsim™ relies heavily on 3D graphics hardware to present detailed smooth graphics. While most computers these days have this functionality built in, older computer may not and may struggle to produce acceptable performance.
Even modern computers, particularly laptops may have substandard graphics hardware for displaying 3D graphics and performance may not be as good as expected. The following guide is recommended for computers.
Minimum Configuration
- Intel based (AMD or Intel) processor 1 Ghz +
- Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 / 8
- 2GB RAM, Hard Drive Space 100 Mb
- Direct X9 compatible graphics (minimum Intel integrated graphics)
- Two button mouse
Recommended Configuration
- Intel based 32 or 64 bit dual core processor 2 Ghz +
- Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 32 or 64 bit
- 4GB Ram. Hard Drive Space 100Mb +
- Dedicated /Discrete Graphics card from INTEL, ATI or NVIDIA with greater than 128Mb or RAM. INTEL "COREi’’ processors (generally sold from 2010 onwards) now have reasonable graphical power and perform well with Pumpsim™ without a dedicated graphics card.
- Two button mouse with centre scroll / click wheel
- Pumpsim™ is not officially supported on Apple Mac computers, however it has been confirmed that Pumpsim™ is capable of running on newer Macbooks under Windows dual boot or Parallels™ virtualisation software.
Ideal Configuration
