Graphics Configuration

Applicable for the Arena Visual Designer tool.

Minimum Requirements

Graphics card should have 512MB or more of dedicated DDR3 type or better memory.

Below are example graphics cards that meet the minimum requirements

  • NVIDIA NVS 3100M or better
  • NVIDIA Quadro PCI-E Series or better
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 or better

Arena Visual Designer performance is dependant upon the OpenGL and graphics card drivers installed on your computer.  Early versions of some graphics card drivers contain issues that can cause Arena Visual Designer to not render graphics properly or generate runtime errors.  It is strongly recommended to visit your graphics card vendor's web site to obtain the latest version of your graphics card driver.

Recommended Requirements

  • Microsoft DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL 2.0 compatible
  • Pixel and Vertex Shaders 2.0 compatible
  • At least a 2GB GDDR5 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 5) SGRAM; this is a high-performance graphics card. Any graphics card that can be used for extreme gaming will generally fit these criteria

Note: The running and animation of Arena and some large simulation models can be calculation-intensive, so a faster processor with additional memory may result in significantly improved performance. In addition, a larger monitor and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 are recommended for improved animation viewing.

Arena’s Visual Designer tool will take advantage of multi-core capability to maintain graphic update speed.

FactoryTalk Activation works on both Microsoft® Windows® 8 and Windows® 8.1.  The license dongles are not supported on Microsoft® Windows® 8.1 due to driver issues with a 3rd party vendor.


The Arena software can be run on single processor, multi processor, and multi-core processor computers; however, you can only run one instance of Arena at a time. The Arena Visual Designer tool will take advantage of multi-core capability to maintain graphic update speed.
