Find the right PC for your software.
The right PC specification tool for engineers, editors, and creators. No benchmark theatre, no hype, just the hardware your software actually requires, in three clear tiers with plain-English explanations.

Pick your platform and the software you actually run. The engine reduces each app to its real bottleneck, not its marketing requirements.

How this works
Hard compatibility rules (VRAM floors, CUDA, OS support) are fully deterministic and evaluated in code. Tier selection is matched against a curated hardware catalog and cached, so every result can be traced back to the app that drove it.
- Step 1
Every app has point requirements
Each software category (3D rendering, video editing, office work, and so on) has a point value on six components (CPU single-core, CPU multi-core, GPU, VRAM, RAM, storage), at three usage levels: light, medium, heavy.
- Step 2
Requirements combine differently per component
CPU, GPU, and VRAM take the peak (MAX) across everything you selected, since running two apps doesn't reduce either one's real requirement. RAM uses a decay-weighted series, since apps genuinely share memory when run together. Storage is a straight sum, because installed size doesn't care about concurrency.
- Step 3
Multitasking adjusts the total
Running things simultaneously scales CPU up, except VRAM, which is a hard floor: a scene either fits or it doesn't, so there's no partial credit there.
- Step 4
Hard rules are deterministic; tier selection is AI-matched
VRAM floors, CUDA requirements, and OS support are boolean checks, always evaluated in code, never left to AI judgment. Once those pass, tier selection is matched against a curated hardware catalog and cached, so identical requests don't re-run it.
Specvisor is a suggestion tool, not an official hardware authority. Treat the result as a well-reasoned starting point, not a guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
How the recommendations are calculated, whether they're official, and how often the underlying data is refreshed.
In two layers. Hard compatibility rules (VRAM floors, CUDA requirements, dedicated-GPU needs, OS support) are fully deterministic boolean checks evaluated in code, never left to AI judgment. Once those pass, tier selection is matched against a curated hardware catalog by a live AI call, cached so identical requests are served instantly on repeat. See "How this works" above for the full breakdown.
