## Hardware Requirements

The hardware prerequisites for VCam.ai depend on whether you're using a desktop or laptop computer, and they also vary based on the level of Camera video quality you desire (Standard, High, or Highest).

### For Desktops

**Standard Quality**  
* 4th generation Intel i5 CPU or Ryzen 5 (2nd Gen+) (CPU acceleration), **or**
* Intel HD 530+ / Nvidia GTX 850+ / AMD R260+ (GPU acceleration)

**High Quality**  
* 5th generation Intel i7 CPU or Ryzen 5-7 (3nd Gen+) (CPU acceleration), **or**
* Intel HD 530+ / Nvidia GTX 950+ / AMD Radeon RX 460+ (GPU acceleration)

**Highest Quality**  
* 8th generation Intel i7 CPU or Ryzen 7 (3rd Gen+) (CPU acceleration), **or**
* Intel UHD 630+ / Nvidia GTX 1060+ / AMD Radeon RX 580+ (GPU acceleration)

### For Laptops

**Standard Quality**  
* 6th generation Intel i5 CPU or Ryzen 5 (3nd Gen+) (CPU acceleration), **or**
* Intel HD 620+ / Nvidia MX150+ / AMD Radeon Graphics 3rd Gen+ (GPU acceleration)

**High Quality**  
* 6th generation Intel i7 CPU (CPU acceleration) Ryzen 7 (3nd Gen+) (CPU acceleration), **or**
* Intel UHD 620+ / Nvidia GTX 950 or MX250+ / AMD Radeon RX Vega 8+ (GPU acceleration)

**Highest Quality**
