Issue:

This article provides the system requirements for 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design 2015.

Solution:

Autodesk 3ds Max 2015 software is supported on the following 64-bit operating systems and at a minimum, requires a system with the following 64-bit hardware:

Software
Operating SystemMicrosoft® Windows® 7 (SP1), Windows® 8 and Windows® 8.1 Professional operating system
BrowserAutodesk recommends the latest version of the following web browsers for access to online supplemental content:
  • Google Chrome™ web browser
  • Microsoft® Internet Explorer® web browser
  • Mozilla® Firefox® web browser
Hardware
CPU64-bit Intel® or AMD® multi-core processor
Graphics HardwareRefer to the Recommended Hardware wizard for a detailed list of recommended systems and graphics cards
RAM4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
Disk Space4.5 GB of free disk space for install
Pointing DeviceThree-button mouse


Note: DPI scaling is not fully supported across the entire application and 3ds Max 2015 may exhibit display issues when using high resolution displays. Even without DPI scaling support, most are finding 4K with a maximum scaling of 150% is sufficient. Users may need to find their balance between resolution and scaling, which might come down to personal preference/tolerance. We are actively investigating this high density display issue at Autodesk as a high priority.
