System Requirements: Minimum Specs and PC Guide

Check the official ArmorSim system requirements for PC, including minimum hardware specs, CPU demands for Ultra mode, and storage considerations.

ArmorSim ultra CPU performance: Hardware Guide and Solve Times

ArmorSim ultra CPU performance depends heavily on physical core counts to cut solve times during heavy continuum physics calculations.

Quick Answers

Requirements FAQ

Why does ArmorSim Ultra mode require a strong CPU?

Ultra mode is completely CPU-bound, meaning additional physical CPU cores shorten continuum calculation times. Read the guide

How much storage space does ArmorSim require?

The base installation requires 4 GB, but individual continuum simulation replays can generate between 1 GB and 26 GB each. Read the guide

Does upgrading a GPU speed up ArmorSim Ultra mode calculations?

No, Ultra calculations are CPU-bound, so a faster GPU will not reduce upfront continuum solve times. Read the guide
