System Requirements

Below are the system requirements for comfortable work with Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools.

Game

See Counter-Strike 2 System Requirements.

Hammer

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.

Note:-lightmapcpu was removed with the Armory update; CPU compiling is now completely unavailable.

	Minimum	Recommended
System memory (RAM)	16 GB	32 GB
Video card (GPU)	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 a lack of RT cores. AMD Radeon 6600 XT (or other RDNA 2 cards) Intel Arc series (tested on Battlemage)	Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti+ (or Quadro/Titan equivalent) AMD Radeon 6800 XT+ (or other RDNA 2 cards) Intel Arc series (tested on Battlemage only as of Jan 5th, 2025.)

Other tools

It seems that even a toaster works perfectly with them.
