What is Substance Painter ?

Substance Painter is one of the popular Animation & Modeling, Design & Illustration games developed by Allegorithmic and was published by Allegorithmic. Released in 22 Nov , it has a huge number of players who regularly play it. With the perfect processor, GPU, and RAM, you can assemble a device powerful enough to play at the game at p and p.

Although you can go for some high-end GTX, RTX, or even mid-range AMD Radeon GPU to play this game, you would require a minimum of NVIDIA Quadro FX or AMD Radeon HD G + HD M Dual to hit decent fps at every given presets. Inherently, to run Substance Painter smoothly, your computer/PC/Laptop must have the minimum/recommended system requirements.

For playing Substance Painter at HD settings, the Intel Core2 Duo E @ GHz or AMD A10 PROB APU is the lowest rated processor. However, it isn’t recommended to get a system that just has the minimum CPU, after all you’ll be playing other games and doing other tasks too. In our opinion, it’s best to consider getting the Intel Core 2 Duo E for being able to run the game smoothly and lag-free.

For better performances at high to ultra p settings, consider purchasing the Intel Core 2 Duo E which is 0% better as compared to the Intel Core2 Duo E @ GHz and flaunts a mark score of . If you have an AMD-powered gadget, the AMD A10 PROB APU is a good choice as the recommended CPU.

A dedicated GPU is necessary for smoother visuals while running the Substance Painter , as Animation & Modeling, Design & Illustration titles require the device to decipher the intricate textures. Therefore, you would require NVIDIA Quadro FX or AMD Radeon HD G + HD M Dual with G3D mark score of / as the bare minimum components for running this game at p presets.

If you want to explore the Substance Painter is its entirety, you must get hold of NVIDIA Quadro P or AMD Radeon X GPU or even better processing components, especially to handle the game at p, hitting decent fps, consistently.

Although we would urge you to get a minimum of 8 GB for handling the Substance Painter files, textures, renders, and game-playing data, 16 GB ensures that you can indulge in other processes sans lags. In case you’re planning to play other games, then make sure that your system has the recommended RAM for those games.
