This question has come up in the past what are the minimum system requirements for Blender and they have been pretty much the same from Blender 2.41 thur Blender 2.8 But from Blender 2.9 things started to change as far as system requirement and the release of Blender 3.0 many basics system requirements have changed and I found this article that goes into some very useful details that will benefit the whole spectrum from Blender Noobies to some of us old timers hope you all find the article useful.

Thanks @Lobo, as that's definitely going to come in handy, especially for those who use multiple versions of Blender.

Yes I thought it would be I know that even thou my current system meets minimum requirements I have found that I do need to upgrade my Graphics card as it is really slowing down when it comes to rendering I currently have a GTX 980Ti and it is starting to show its age lol

I have a GTX 1660Ti, so once they got Poser to recognize the newer cards that were running on the newer Turing system like the RTX20xx cards, I was quite happy.

Now that the prices and avaiablity of RTX 30 series cards can finally try and get one considered jsut going to the RTX 40 series but they seem to have not worked out all the bugs with them especially power connectors melting sorry fire and computer components not a good mix lol 

I think I'll stick with the GTX cards for a while.  This puppy's only 3 years old, so I'm thinking it's not going to need a new graphics card any time soon.
