Whilst waiting for my MetroY Pro to ship out, I’ve installed the Revo Metro 5.8.0 software package onto my Win11 Dell Precision 5480 (i7-13800H/32GB/2TB/RTX 2000 Ada 8GB).
My other laptop is an Apple Macbook Pro (M2 Pro base/16GB/512GB) and obvs. the software is still to be released by Revopoint.
After running the PC performance on the Dell, I’m slightly worried that the scanning will not be optimal:
Hi, I’m new to this, and my opinion may not be entirely accurate. It’s the same as yours. I installed the software for Metro Y Pro on my old laptop and I tried two scans, one of which was excessively large, as you can see. So far, the computer hasn’t crashed; it does take a while to process.
Hi @printa your have a minimum requirement system but you are still lacking the recommended GPU , so for that reason it showed POOR . It will still works great in Full Field and Auto mode , but with laser mode not so because of slow CPU and no fast GPU acceleration. Also the processing will take a while .
It will still work but very slow compared to the required system.
I know but the quadro cards are not made for games as they lacking specific features and drivers . So the speed may be equal but not specifically for the GPU acceleration that is used in Revo Metro while scanning, what is separate from real time capture .
So it may be great for GPU rendering acceleration but not for the other .
There are not list of supported cards as officially only RTX 3050 and up are tested and officially supported
Any other Nvidia RTX cards may works but may be not optimal . You will need to test yours out .
But please don’t relay much on the CPU test , my other workstation with i9 10th Gen RTX 3090 ti was rated POOR compared to my 4060 what is slower than 3090 ti.
And the dev.team were surprised by the test
Best way to try out and then make decision on update .
The MAC version will be available before the first days of November or maybe early .
Yeah it ignored the RTX quadro card. It did not liked my RTX 3090 ti 24 GB either considering it is faster than 4060 still rated it Excellent and my TI poor.
Just ignore .the ratings . see in action and how much frames you will get , that’s what counts
I emailed support before ordering the scanner and specifically asked if my RTX was supported, to which they replied “Yes, your NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada (20GB) is supported.”
I’m going to contact them again to see what they say.
Yes , but just because it is supported don’t means you will get the best experiences.
I never said the card was not supported just not as good as recommended for a excellent performance. Unsupported cards can’t be even used as GPU acceleration under settings .
i7 13th generation is supported too but it will not works as good as i9 14th generation , that’s what I mean by .
Well you going to find out yourself and then let me know .
I think the best answer you can get is from old MetroX users that used the same card as yours , then you know the true performance in laser mode as that is what you need.
I searched the forum and couldn’t find much information on it. I also contacted support and I think that they are telling me that if the card wasn’t supported, it wouldn’t be in the drop-down list and there would be a pop-up in the lower right hand corner saying the computer doesn’t meet minimum requirements. Mine is in the list and I have no pop up, so I should be good. They also sent me a screen shot of the performance test of “MetroY using similar GPU specifications” with the scanner connected to the PC and GPU performance was Excellent. I assume the test with the scanner connected uses different parameters???
I’m not an overclocker, but I figured I’d give it a try, even though I already have a fast PC. I used the preconfigured Intel 200s boost and it moved my “Poor” to “Average” on CPU alone. Then I tried overclocking the ram only and I still received the “Average” score, so the score increase came from the RAM and not the CPU. I tested the xmp1 and xmp2 and received “Average” on both. I have 64GB of DDR5 RAM with default speed of 4800 and it goes to 6400 on xmp1 and 6000 on xmp2. I figured this might be helpful information for someone looking for better performance.
That what I told you early , the system checker do not show the same thing sometimes compared to the actually performance with the scanner after it is connected . I would not worry much about the system checks or the real time sensors for now. I actually having a meeting about that issue with the dev.team and will continue tomorrow. Software still need some polishing …
My PC system check was poor yet my scanning performance was excellent with Max FPS and without issue … that’s says everything to me.
Just did the test and got poor on cpu and excellent on gpu. Guess I’ll be using the gpu. I’m surprised the cpu got a poor result as it’s 20 cores up to 5ghz on two cores and averages about 4.2ghz consistently when under load.
Asus Zephyrus M16, 12th gen i9-12900H 48gb 4800mhz ram and RTX 3070 Ti 8gb
If your CPU reach at least 47 fps while scanning only with CPU, your CPU is excellent and optimal.
My i9 10th Gen is excellent ( still did not passed the check lol )
