# DaVinci Resolve 21.1 Hardware Requirements: What You Actually Need

> On Windows, Resolve 21.1 lists 16GB system memory, or 32GB with Fusion, plus a compatible GPU with at least 4GB VRAM. For a new 4K creator PC, 64GB RAM and a modern 16GB-class GPU are a far more useful starting point; heavier Fusion, AI, multicam, 6K or 8K work can justify 96-128GB RAM and 24-32GB+ GPU memory.
