Dolphsinger Posted November 11, 2024 Posted November 11, 2024 (edited) Hello all, A quick search did not return the answer to my question. I see in the requirements for MacOS that Intel CPU's are compatible but there's no mention of AVX/AVX2. I would like to install Affinity Designer and possibly Photo too, but I want to make sure AVX instructions are not needed?

Staff MEB Posted November 11, 2024 Staff Posted November 11, 2024 Hi @Dolphsinger, Welcome to Affinity Forums No, AVX/AVX2 instructions are not required to run Affinity apps. Some third party photoshop plugins may require them though. Dolphsinger and Komatös 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
