System requirements

TiXL runs on Windows 10 and 11. For Linux and macOS use one of the Wine-based setups linked under install.

Hardware

  • GPU: a DirectX 11.3-compatible card. GeForce GTX 970 or later is the minimum target; RTX-class cards handle complex shader graphs much more comfortably.
  • RAM: 16 GB comfortable. Large video assets push memory use up quickly.
  • Disk: installer ~500 MB. Projects with video and image assets grow fast — keep those on a fast SSD.
  • Display: the editor UI is usable on 1920×1080 but prefers more screen real estate. A second display for full-screen output is strongly recommended for live use.

Software

  • OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11.
  • DirectX: 11.3 runtime; Windows Graphics Tools. The installer handles both.
  • .NET 9 runtime. Bundled with the installer.

For developing C# operators

  • Visual Studio Community 2022, or JetBrains Rider (free for non-commercial use).
  • The .NET 9 SDK (not just the runtime).
