General / Optimising storage consumption for archived projects

« on: January 12, 2017, 04:03:53 PM »

Hi all!

In my company we are often dealing with photoscan projects containing 10'000 images. Needless to say, that we need terabytes of storage for those projects. Moreover they regularly get backed up, what causes additional traffic.

Therefore my question: Are there any files in the project file, which can be deleted as soon as a project is considered as finished and before it gets archived on the archive server (apart from depth maps)?

Thanks for your help!

General / Upgrading GPU Power

« on: September 09, 2016, 10:44:21 AM »

Hi all,

I'm currently working on huge projects, so I need much more GPU power.
At the moment one Titan X 12GB  is installed, but I have three more slots and also enough cooling for three additional graphic cards.

The current specs of my computer are:

CPU: 2 x E5-2680V3
Ram: 256GB 2133MHz
Grafik: ASUS GTX Titan X 12GB
SSD1: 128GB 850 PRO, System
SSD2: 1TB 850 PRO, Pagefile
SSD3: 2TB Data
Power: 2000Watt Redundant, Titanium Level


The budget is somewhere at 1500 Euros. I guess it makes more sense to buy three cheap graphic cards than one expensive one?

Are there any up to date recommendations for graphic cards especially for photoscan?

General / Optimising Settings of GeForce GTX TITAN X

« on: March 01, 2016, 02:03:35 PM »

I bought a TITAN graphic card which speeded up the calculations of my projects by far.
Are there any known settings that should be chosen in the NVIDIA settings panel to improve / optimize the speed or the stability even further? For example in the 3d-settings. Thanks!
