Anarkik3D Design for PCs and for MACs
Important: Please check your computer’s specifications before purchasing Anarkik3D Design
Anarkik3D Design runs on both the Windows Operating System and on Apple MACs . If you have a Macintosh computer, such as MacBook Pro with High Sierra you can download and run your own version too. Just plug in the Falcon haptic device – it plugs and plays with no need to download any drivers.
For PCs the specification of the graphics card is more important than the CPU (Computer Processing Unit) and it should be ranked among the top 150 in the ranking list. We use the ASUS X550 on the courses we run (sadly not available any more) as it has a good Graphics card: nVidia GeForce GT 720M.
