Mari tech specs.

Mari® performs best on newer, advanced hardware configurations, while supporting many older, prior-generation systems.

Supported operating systems

Windows 11 64-bit

Linux 64-bit operating system (Rocky/RHEL 9)

Linux Desktop Managers

Mari is officially tested on GNOME. While it generally performs well on other desktop managers, most of our bug fixes will target this. We would be interested to know if there are any other preferred desktop managers to consider in the future, so feel free to share your specifications with our Support Team at support@foundry.com

GPU Requirements for the Bakery

In order to use the Bakery, at a minimum your graphics card must support GPU-accelerated Ray Tracing. Cards with dedicated Ray Tracing hardware (e.g. anything with ‘RTX’ in the name for NVIDIA cards, and AMD 6000/7000 families) are supported, but some older cards such as the NVIDIA GTX 1080 line also support Ray Tracing and have been tested against the Bakery.

Using multiple GPUs for baking is also supported.

If you are unsure if a specific card has been tested or want to check whether we expect it to work, please contact support@foundry.com and we will be happy to investigate for you.
