Maxon names OpenGL 3.3 and Vulkan 1.1 but no specific GPU model or VRAM minimum — gpuTier 8 (minimum) and gpuTier 12 (recommended) are RenderReady checker approximations, not Maxon tiers. OpenGL/Vulkan version requirements are not modeled as separate gates in V1. Pen tablet requirements are not checked. Redshift in ZBrush has separate GPU requirements.
