Performance comparison of graphics cards
Graphics cards are a critical hardware element that can have a large impact on both the performance and stability of systems. These benchmarks help you choose
the right 3D PCB graphics engine for your needs and budget. Choose the right hardware requirements necessary to achieve stunning results, make the whole
system more responsive and feel better, and remove distractions to design caused by lags in the GUI. Altium Designers PCB and schematic editors have been
optimized for use with DirectX 9.0c. As such, workstation graphics cards which do not have native DirectX 9.0c (or later) acceleration in hardware will have
inferior performance, when compared to the same generation of gaming graphics cards. We therefore strongly recommend the use of gaming cards instead of
workstation cards.

Installations required for FPGA design
Implementing an FPGA design in a device requires the installation of third-party software tools. These tools are available as downloads from FPGA vendor
websites. A list of the vendor tools and devices supported by Altium Designer and links to the appropriate websites are provided in the Community section.
