System Requirements / Will My Computer Run Wonderdraft?
If you want to know how well Wonderdraft will run on your computer, please carefully study the following. I have found that by far the most important hardware to look at is your graphics card. Wonderdraft heavily leverages the graphics card to do the bulk of the lifting, so that you can have mapping tools and effects work in real-time. Unless you have some other extremes, your graphics card is the main concern. That said, I have worked to optimize it a fair bit to bring the requirements down a lot. Here are the result.
