System recommendations

Hololight Stream supports applications with a wide range of visual complexity to deliver compelling XR experiences to an array of supported devices. On its own, Hololight Stream’s requirements are minimal but scale up depending on the demands of the application you want to integrate Hololight Stream into.

It is important to remember that hardware requirements vary based on the specific application, rendering engine, and XR client device in use.

GPU recommendations

We test Hololight Stream on workstations using NVIDIA graphics cards. The following recommendations are the cards which deliver the performance needed to create enterprise-level XR experiences powered by Hololight Stream.

The suggested graphics cards vary depending on two factors. One is the target client devices that will connect to your application using Hololight Stream Client. The second is the level of complexity of the application you are developing.

Using AMD GPUs with Hololight Stream
We recommend using NVIDIA GPUs. This release had an issue with AMD GPUs, meaning they will not work at all with version 2025. This will be fixed in the upcoming 2026 release.
