Hello, 

From here  Ansys Discovery Hardware Requirements (2024 R2) - Ansys Knowledge you can find the minimum hardware required for Explore mode. 8gb is recommend GPU memory for all the functions to work smoothly. More the GPU memory better you will be able to capture thin details. 

In Discovery 2024 R2 you can define local fidelity on bodies in explore for structural & local fidelities on faces to use your GPU memory effeciently. You can refer this fluids course for more information: Fluid Flow Simulation Using Ansys Discovery | Ansys Courses

You can go through this Discovery Application Test Cases (ansys.com). For each simulation test case, results comparisons are presented to show expected results for the Explore stage vs. the Refine stage. The results obtained in the Explore stage, or in the Refine stage using the LiveGX solver, are dependent on GPU hardware. 

Solutions obtained in the Refine stage, using the Ansys Fluent and Ansys Mechanical solvers, are run on the CPU.

You should expect some variability in the precision of results when run on your own hardware.

Regards,

Devendra
