System Requirements

Each screen saver theme will typically include a system requirements section under the specifications for each demo and upgrade page. Most of the specifications are the same but some may vary and you should check with each individual products specs first.

General

The system requirements listed here is a general standard for most (not all) of the available screen savers on this site. They are generalized and some may work with less requirements posted and others may require more or higher specs.

Platforms

Platform is the operating system the screen savers are designed to operate on. Both Windows 32-bit and 64-bit versions for each are supported.

  • Windows Vista
  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8.0
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 10

System Requirements

The system requirements is the minimum hardware needed to for the software to operate or perform at an acceptable level.

  • CPU: SSE2 (Pentium 4 or better)
  • System RAM: 1GB or more
  • Hard Drive Space 10MB to 200MB (varies by screen saver)
  • Graphics: DX9 (shader model 3.0) or DX11 with feature level 9.3 capabilities.)

Other Requirements

Most of the software also requires the use of .NET Framework 3.5 or newer. Nearly every Windows supported above will have this framework if installed recently or upgraded through the windows updates. But if your system has not been set to update Net framework packages and is not 3.5 or newer the software may not work as intended.
