Requirement type |
Minimum requirement |
|---|---|
|
Computer |
Desktop or laptop running Windows 11 Home, Pro, Education, or Enterprise, version 24H2 or newer. Use Microsoft's instructions for finding Windows device information. |
|
Browser |
Up-to-date Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. |
|
Graphics |
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, or eligible modern Intel Xe / Intel Arc integrated graphics. Use Microsoft's system configuration tools guide to find installed hardware. If two graphics processors are listed on your computer, it may have both integrated graphics and a separate, higher-performance graphics card. Even if two of them are installed, your browser uses only one. Ensure that you select the higher-performance GPU. |
|
Graphics access |
Hardware-accelerated WebGPU must be available to the browser. |
Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee the same performance on every project. Complex vector artwork, large images, layered effects, and 3D content can require more graphics processing power.
Graphics acceleration allows the browser to use the GPU instead of relying on software rendering. Firefly Design requires the Use graphics acceleration when available setting to be activated:
|
Browser |
Access to the setting |
|---|---|
|
Chrome |
In the address bar, type chrome://settings/system Then, in the System section, turn on Use graphics acceleration when available. |
|
Edge |
In the address bar, type: edge://settings/system Then, in the System section, turn on Use graphics acceleration when available. If your organization controls this setting, ask your IT administrator to review Microsoft's graphics-acceleration policy. |
Restart the browser after activation. Then, to verify the setting, enter chrome://gpu directly in the Chrome address bar or edge://gpu directly in the Edge address bar. Ensure that you see Hardware accelerated for WebGPU.
Hardware accelerated for WebGL isn't enough. Firefly Design requires WebGPU. Also, Hardware accelerated for WebGPU only confirms the browser's access to graphics, not compatibility with every project or a particular frame rate.
If your computer has more than one GPU, turn off optimizations for the browser you’ll use for Firefly Design by selecting High performance as the Graphics preference. Select Chrome or Edge, not the Firefly Design website. If the browser isn't listed, contact your IT administrator.
Usage of a higher-performance GPU can increase power consumption and reduce battery life.
