because laptops are not like desktops - your are stuck with the manufacturer will update to.
what is the required OpenGL for daz3d to open? when Blender moved to Version 4 older laptops would no longer open Blender because the built in openGL was too low.

Well, DS 4 is still DS 4 but I ray is certainly more demanding (RTX card if at all possible, 8GB+ video memory recommended - and for Iray you geenally want 2-3 times as much system memory as GPU memory to allow space to prepare the scene data for sending to the GPU.
yes but i know that if your laptop doesn't have certain OpenGL or higher and or a certain DirectX or higher daz3d will not open. i am looking for those numbers to run the current version of DS.
and yes i am talking about older laptops, GPU-Z can be run on them to see if they have the right stuff or not. but i need to know what that 'right stuff' is.
