GPU Requirements
« on: March 18, 2019, 08:19:17 PM »
Hello!

I am new to Agisoft and computing, so pardon my lack of knowledge.

Will the NVIDIA 2070 graphics card be good enough for this application? In an ideal world I would get the 2080, but budget restraints are making the 2070 look really appealing. The system requirements listed on the website say 1080, and I don't know enough about graphics cards to know how significant the difference is between the **70 and **80 series to know if the money saved would be worth it?

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello nkh1234,

Bigger number of CUDA cores means better performance for GPU supported stages in Metashape (image matching, depth maps generation, depth maps based mesh generation). Bigger amount of VRAM also improves the performance of depth maps based mesh generation and mesh refinement operations.
