Does Figma Need GPU?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:38 am

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, developed by Figma, Inc. It is available on the web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Figma has been described as “the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration”, and as “the Google Docs of design tools”.

PRO TIP: Figma is a vector drawing program that does not require a GPU for normal use. However, if you plan to use Figma for GPU-intensive tasks such as 3D modeling or gaming, you may want to consider investing in a dedicated graphics card. Otherwise, your computer’s CPU will likely be the bottleneck, and you may not be able to take full advantage of Figma’s capabilities.

GPUs are used in Figma for rendering vector graphics. The use of GPUs can speed up the process of rendering vector graphics by up to 10 times. Figma also uses GPUs to render the user interface and to provide a better user experience when using the software.

Conclusion:

Yes, Figma does need GPU for better performance.
