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:Ray-tracing for Intel Arc is not supported at this time, as of Feb 16, 2024

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).

Warning:The deprecated CPU lighting compiler does not support the new light types introduced in , such as emissive materials!.
