Hardware Recommendations

Cinegy Title Editor is distributed as a free-standing product, as it is shared by multiple various Cinegy products and therefore has dedicated release notes and version numbering. Please check the release notes of supported Cinegy products to determine which minimum supported Cinegy Title Editor versions are compatible.

Cinegy products work only on machines with CPU supporting the minimum instruction set SSE4.1.

GPU Support

While Cinegy Title Editor works with any Direct3D 11-compatible graphics adapter, advanced templates perform best with NVIDIA graphics cards. Using non-NVIDIA cards for complex scenes may result in performance issues or unexpected crashes.

After installing a dedicated graphics card, please disable the onboard graphics card (e.g., Matrox) using the Windows Device Manager > Display Adapters and selecting the "Disable device" option for that card.

Any media reference within Cinegy Title scenes should be valid and this media should be placed on a dedicated solid-state drive or fast network location.

We recommend that the power plan in Windows OS is set to "High Performance".

NVIDIA Driver Version Updates

Due to the frequent release of NVIDIA drivers, it’s unfeasible for Cinegy to test every driver version with every possible GPU card combination to ensure compatibility with our software. As a result, we are unable to recommend a specific NVIDIA driver version for optimal performance. However, in Cinegy Title release notes, we highlight any issues encountered with NVIDIA drivers during our testing phase and, if they are fixed in subsequent driver releases, we provide information about the fixed version and offer recommendations for selecting the appropriate range of NVIDIA drivers. Therefore, when considering an NVIDIA driver update, it’s essential to verify its compatibility with your specific hardware and software configuration.

Cinegy Title 24.11 supports the latest NVIDIA boards which require new NVIDIA drivers and a new SDK to be utilized. For that reason, the minimal NVIDIA driver version is 456.81. Before starting any upgrades, please make sure that the OS under which you are running Cinegy Title Editor and the model of the NVIDIA board you are using is supported in the version of the NVIDIA driver you choose.

To avoid slow frame composition, please make sure that NVIDIA board is installed into a full-length PCIe x16 Gen.3 or Gen.4 slot.

Note
 Perform the process of NVIDIA drivers update only upon stopping Cinegy applications. For detailed instructions on installing an NVIDIA driver, please refer to the NVIDIA Drivers installation article.
