What are the systems requirements for GenesisIV?
Apart from the graphics card, GenesisIV does not have any significant system requirements. A system with a 1GHz or better processor and adequate RAM – 256Mb or more – running Windows 2000 or XP should be adequate. However faster processors and more RAM will increase rendering speeds. GenesisIV requires OpenGL, and a modern graphics card that supports the GL Shading Language extensions provided by OpenGL 1.4 is prefered. If your graphics card does not support OpenGL shaders then GenesisIV can be run in ‘no-shaders’ mode. No-Shaders mode is differs only in the way that atmospherics are processed in the photorealistic renderer, where results will be somewhat slower for the whole landscape and less accurate for vegetation and models. Except for more ‘extreme’ atmospheric settings the accuracy will have no-noticable effect.
