Hardware requirements - GPU

[osima]

Hi,

We have a machine with 24 Gb RAM, 2 x 2.67GHz CPU and a mother board meeting Photoscan requirements but the graphic hard seems to be a weak point:

•   Graphics Processor
o   ATI ES1000
•   Video Memory
o   32 MB
•   Video Interfaces
o   VGA

(see http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2102/es1000.html for more details.)

Could you please provide indications about what is the influence of the weak GPU on the performance of Photoscan in image alignment and dense point matching?

Would changing the graphic card to this one

improve the performance dramatically?

best regards,

osima

Yup propbably a 50+x times speedup against the integrated GPU.... do the test from benchmark thread to see the numbers....
