Enscape performs its renders using your graphics card (GPU), but the GPU has to have dedicated VRAM, and not shared VRAM as found with Intel Integrated Graphics chips. A good CPU can speed up Enscape’s loading times.
It is also recommended that your internet connection is fast and stable, and that you should use a direct cable connection, as this can slow down the Asset Library loading times.
The Enscape plug-in is provided for the following host applications:
- Vectorworks: as of version 2020 SP3
- Sketchup Pro: as of version 2021
- Revit: as of version 2021. Revit LT wordt niet ondersteund
- Rhino: as of version 6.0
- ArchiCAD: as of version 24
On Windows, the Enscape plugin will be installed for all of the above listed host applications by default unless otherwise specified by the user during the installation process. This means you do not require a dedicated installer specific to each individual host application, and you can specify which CAD or CAD’s you want to install Enscape for during the installation procedure.
- Operating system: Windows 11 | Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 / Quadro RTX 4000 or AMD-equivalent (e.g. Radeon RX 5700 XT) with 6GB VRAM or better. *
- Operating system: Windows 11 | Windows 10 (64-bit))
- Graphics card: NVIDIA- or AMD-GPU with 4 GB VRAM that supports Vulkan 1.1. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 900-series / Quadro M-serie or newer. AMD Radeon RX 400-series / equivalente Radeon Pro-serie or newer. *
- Operating system: Windows 11 | Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 / Quadro RTX 5000 or an AMD-equivalent GPU (e.g. Radeon RX 6700 XT) with 8 GB VRAM or better. *
- Windows Mixed Reality Devices HTC Vive, HTC Vive Pro Oculus Rift and Rift S
TIP
Always check the system requirements of the host program.
*
The graphics card should have the latest available drivers or at least the recommended drivers.
In cases where you have multiple GPU’s, Enscape will only utilize one of those GPU’s.
Unsupported Hardware
Radeon 6000 mobile GPU’s
Intel Integrated Graphics onboard GPU’s
NVIDIA SLI (you may still experience a performance boost by using SLI AFR mode, which is a setting that can be selected in your NVIDIA driver properties.)
Only docking stations that support accelerated graphics will work with Enscape.
Known Issues
DLSS is not supported on the NVIDIA GTX 1660 product line and although the GTX 1660 cards can run RTX features, you will likely experience many performance issues. In this scenario we highly recommend disabling RTX for these GPU’s.
If using Revit, there are known conflicts with two other Revit plugins: Colorizer and Techviz. To avoid incompatibilities, please uninstall them before using Enscape.
