**Graphics cards, RAM, monitors & co - what technology do you need for SEMA?**

*Technology is making rapid progress, but you don't need to buy a premium PC to work with SEMA.*

 

- - - - - - - In short:
                                                        
                                                        - SEMA does not place excessive demands on PC hardware
                                                        
                                                        - An up-to-date computer and Windows 11 as operating system is sufficient
                                                        
                                                        - A better computer does not automatically lead to faster work
                                                        
                                                        - We recommend a second screen
                                                        
                                                        - You can find the exact hardware requirements [here](https://www.sema-soft.com/en/support/hardware-recommendations/)

 

 

We receive a number of questions about laptops, monitors etc. time and again, which is why we would like to address them individually:

 

Laptops

SEMA runs stable and smoothly on laptops. Werecommend a separate graphics card.

 

Tablets:

In principle, SEMA can also be run on tablets, but there are a few points to bear in mind:

 - the performance of tablets quickly reaches its limits  
- Windows 11 or higher should be installed as the operating system  
- We recommend a separate graphics card  
- not every processor is suitable. We regularly update the findings from internal tests, which can be found below the table with the [minimum requirements](https://www.sema-soft.com/en/support/hardware-recommendations/)

**Screen:**

Even though SEMA can be displayed on almost any screen , we recommend using one, or preferably two, large, high-quality monitors. If you work on a poor monitor for a long time, you will get tired more quickly and work less effectively - and it's not healthy either!

 

Docking station

Working with a docking station is possible without any problems. In individual cases, it may be necessary to connect the screens directly to the laptop.

 

Apple and virtual machines:  
We clearly recommend working with Windows 11 or higher and a physical PC. We focus our developments on this software environment and assume no responsibility for solutions outside this framework.

 

And what is an *up-to-date* computer?  
IT experts and craftsmen may have different opinions here. To avoid misunderstandings, only clear facts will help, or in this case: a look at the [minimum requirements ](https://www.sema-soft.com/en/support/hardware-recommendations/)on our homepage.
