Hammer Minimum Specs
Hammer now leverages GPU accelerated raytracing to both preview and bake lighting for Counter-Strike 2 maps, drastically speeding up compile times, even on lower end hardware. As such, a GPU capable of raytracing is now required for Hammer to be fully functional.
GPU Minimum Specs:
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 (or Quadro/Titan equivalent)
- Note:Although some GTX 10 and 16 cards do support GPU-Accelerated raytracing, Hammer doesn't support GPU-Accelerated raytracing because of lack of RT cores.
- AMD Radeon 6600 XT (or other RDNA 2 cards)
- Intel Arc series (future)
GPU Recommended Specs:
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti+ (or Quadro/Titan equivalent)
- AMD Radeon 6800 XT+ (or other RDNA 2 cards)
- Intel Arc series (future)
Note:As of Feb 16, 2024, GPU accelerated ray-tracing on Intel Arc is currently not yet supported.
Todo: [ Deprecated] It is still possible to use the old CPU compiler by moving around some files or adding
-lightmapcpu
to resourcecompiler's run parameters; document this (probably on a subpage).
