With the recent changes in minimum hardware requirements, there has been a lot of discussion about which hardware is actually used and who should get a new computer and all of that. In order to help the Blender developers get an accurate idea of what hardware is actually used, rather than just speculation, I’ve created this spreadsheet to collect this data anonymously. If you think this won’t help the devs or it seems redundant, let me know. Tell me anything that’s unnecessary or should be added. Also, if you don’t have a Google account and don’t want one, PM me with your specs and I’ll add them.

docs.google.com Blender Hardware Specs Sheet1 OS( Format: Windows32/ Linux32/ OSX, for Dual boots just put the OS you use for Blender), CPU Brand, OS2( e. g. Linux Mint 15 or Windows 7 Ultimate), CPU Model , CPU Setup( Single, Dual, Triple), CPU speed( 3. 4GHz, O for overclocked, U for...

Do try to follow the format exactly, it’ll help with searches and whatnot. EDIT: For the sake of consistency, we’ll use this way for numbers: 1,000.2 instead of 1.000,2 for example. Also, if you don’t know something, put a question mark {?}, and if something doesn’t apply put a hyphen {-}. Question marks in parentheses {(?)} I’ve added to fill columns so new adders remember to fill out all columns. Feel free to remove them if you know the info. If you don’t know CUDA Version, OpenGL version or OpenCL version, but know your GPU I can look them up. Also, anyone who wants to is more than welcome to help with this!

Just a friendly reminder, the ‘Notes’ category is not for bug reports, feature requests, comments on your future systems, or even praise for Blender. Please limit comments to things elaborating on certain specs, requesting something from me or another editor, 3D mice, things like that.

This is all anonymous, of course.

Make sure to check back once in a while and remove old specs, or to add info to new columns. We can make this an ongoing project.

Thanks!
