Adobe Substance 3D Stager is a 3D application that is best used on a desktop machine with dedicated graphics cards. This page will cover the full minimum, recommended, and optimal hardware for using Stager.

Supported systems

Platform	Minimum	Recommended	Optimal
Windows	OS: Windows 10 (64bit, version 1909) CPU: Intel Core i5 AMD Ryzen 5 GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 Nvidia Quadro P2200 AMD Radeon RX 580 VRAM: 4GB RAM: 16GB Hard drive: SSD type with 30GB of free space	OS: Windows 11 (64bit) CPU: Intel Core i7 AMD Ryzen 7 GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT VRAM: 8GB RAM: 32GB Hard drive: SSD type with 30GB of free space	OS: Windows 10 (64bit) CPU: Intel Core i9 AMD Ryzen 9 GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000 VRAM: 16GB RAM: 32GB Hard drive: SSD Type with 50GB of free space
Mac OS	Model: MacBook Pro 2020 iMac Pro 2020 OS: Mac OS 11 (Big Sur) CPU: Intel Core i9 GPU: AMD Radeon Pro 5600M AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 RAM: 16GB Hard drive: SSD type with 30GB of free space	Model: MacBook Pro 2021 iMac Pro 2021 OS: Mac OS 12 (Monterey) CPU: Apple M1 Pro RAM: 32GB Hard drive: SSD type with 30GB of free space	Model: MacBook Pro 2022 Mac Pro 2022 OS: Mac OS 12 (Monterey) CPU: Apple M1 Pro Max RAM: 64GB Hard drive: SSD type with 50GB of free space

For working in comfortable conditions we recommend a monitor with a resolution greater than 1 Mega Pixels and wider than 1280 pixels.

Apple ARM (M1) support

Stager supports Apple ARM (M1) devices in emulation mode only. Emulation mode may impact the performance of the application.

We do not currently have a release date for native support.

Unsupported configurations

Windows:
- Virtual machine are not supported.
- Windows Server is not supported.
Mac:
- Only official Apple configurations are supported.
- eGPUs are not currently supported and may have stability issues.
Remote desktop is not supported

Supported GPU details

Please note that the above GPU requirements are general. Because of the vast amount of devices that exist, Adobe is unable to test all hardware. This specific list of hardware is added as we test specific devices while the above requirements are general.

Below is a list of the GPU models compatible with the application:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 and above
NVIDIA Quadro P2200 and above
AMD Radeon RX 580 and above
AMD Radeon Pro 5300 M

There is currently a known issue with AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs that stops Stager working correctly. We are working with AMD to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

GPU Rendering

GPU rendering is only available on Windows with NVIDIA graphics cards.

If GPU ray tracing is not available on a supported NVIDIA card, first update the video card drivers. For laptops which also include an integrated graphics card, use the NVIDIA Control Panel to set the preferred graphics card to the discrete card.

Below is a list of the GPU models that have been tested and explicitly do not work with Stagers GPU rendering

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

Minimum GPU Drivers Versions

Below is a list of the minimum GPU drivers version required for the application to run without issues. This list may be subject to changes as new versions release.

Vendor	Platform	Version
Nvidia	Windows	GeForce : 442.50 Quadro : 442.50
AMD	Windows	Radeon : 19.7.1 Radeon Pro / Firepro : 18.Q4
Intel	Windows	All : 15.33

On Mac OS the GPU driver is provided by the operating system itself. Update to the latest version of your OS to access the newest driver.
