About DaVinci Resolve for Windows

Software
Important v10 Pre-install Notes
• The new OpenFX plugin support and temporal processes in v10, optical flow speed
changes, temporal NR and motion blur, all use significantly more GPU RAM
compared to other image processing. We now recommend a minimum of 2GB of GPU
RAM for HD image processing and greater than 4GB of GPU RAM for 4K images if
Plugins or temporal processes are to be used
