The Deriv PC platform runs efficiently on typical Windows systems available in Botswana. Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11 is required for best results. We suggest Intel Core i3 or AMD equivalent processors, although lower specs are supported. A minimum of 4GB RAM is necessary, with 8GB recommended for managing several charts simultaneously. The installer needs 500MB of free disk space, expanding to 2GB with cached market data. Graphics support includes integrated Intel HD and dedicated GPUs.

The platform adapts data compression based on network conditions. Our servers have redundant Botswana ISP links minimizing downtime. Latency for Gaborone users typically ranges between 150 and 200 milliseconds. Offline charting features remain accessible during brief connectivity interruptions.
