Hi. I’m trying to do a laser scan on turntable marker pad, but it is constantly saying that it needs more markes, when I add more markers still it says more markers but shoudn’t the morkers on turntable be suficient in first place?. Is that notmal?
Disable gpu
OMG you are right. that works! is that a bug or somethink ?
No its not bug, problem with GPU, may be drivers if your GPU card compatibly with revoscan.

Hi @Luk_Jok
First of all install the latest driver for your RTX card
Make sure you have the recommended RTX graphic card
RTX 3050 to RTX 4060 at this moment ( more cards will be added soon )
if you use GPU acceleration.
If you don’t , turn the GPU acceleration rendering ( second option off ) as well.
And if still issues appear, please calibrate your MetroX, marker recognition usually is the first indicator about bad calibration.
In the future please include more details about your system , graphic card , CPU etc.. for easier diagnosis.
I see that turning off the GPU helped you out , you may have old driver or not proper graphic card . ( Hard to tell without knowing )

There is a beta test about to start to test a newer version of RevoScan for MetroX and the announcement states “This update mainly includes improvements to the marker algorithm and added GPU acceleration support for certain graphics cards.” Hopefully this means an improved version of RevoScan will be available soon that will not require workarounds.
On my system I get the needs more markers warning while using the laser modes if I have adjusted my global exposure towards the middle of the range. Tracking seems to be very good with exposure set to either 1 or 10, but anything in between (5 being the worst and basically unusable) recognizes fewer and fewer markers. I can still scan with my GPU enabled, but I am basically limited in my ability to adjust exposure.
Hi! thank you for reply.
Unfortunately I tried everythink you recommended and nothink worked.
I have calibrated Metrox it did not help.
I have installed the latest driver (previous was 6 months old), I have tried with GPU acceleration rendering off, but still same problem.
Aldo the full field mode is detecting markers, and works correctly. (to clarity full field was warking befour too, I did not have any trouble with it)
In addition, when I scan global markers it looks like it is detecting them (Image below) but says need more markers. and when I increase the depth exposure in there, the actual light gets dimmer, I don’t know if thats correct.
My specs:
Windows 10
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (driver version: 572.83)
Intel core i5-7400 3.00 GHz
16GB RAM
Hi @Luk_Jok thanks for the extra info .
Last time this kind of issue one of an user had it was just a calibration issue .
Your distance indicator is working just fine right ? When you put an object on the plate ?
I have one of my workstation with RTX 3090 ti , I may test it and see if I can get the same error while changing the exposure . I did not had any other issues with that card before.
The office is closed until Monday due to holidays , but you can always drop an email to customer@revopoint3d.com
With a link to this thread for reference.
I will keep an eye on this issue and let you know ASAP

Need 8 cores, i try 9400f same result.
I switch to 2680V4 all ok now.
i5-7400 3.00 GHz is 34% slower than the minimum requirement for CPU but that should not affect the capture of the markers , as that has a low resources capacity for that feature .
The minimum required CPU for Laser mode is i7 12 gen.
I run Revo Scan MetroX even on my tablet with i7 8 gen with HD graphics and markers still worked fine , of course without GPU acceleration.
9400f+3050 = Laser mode no preview, 2680v4 + 3050 work .
That why it worked with his i5 CPU but without GPU acceleration only.
I am afraid support can’t help here much either , since GPU acceleration requires no slower CPU than i7 12 gen
On my computer, i don’t see diference GPU&CPU
GPU Enabled- CPU 50% GPU 6% - fps 50
CPU Enabled - CPU 50% GPU 6% - fps 48
can you tell me more about the specifications? I have the option of having two computers. Processor: Intel Core i5-12400F
RAM: 64GB DDR4
Graphics card: RTX 3070 8GB. or Processor: Intel Core i5-14400F
RAM: 32GB DDR5
Graphics card: RTX 4060 8GB which is more suitable. what decides more the power of the processor? more cores or the performance of one core? or more graphics card graphics performance or the number of cuda cores?
Hi
Definitely go with first option , because you won’t benefit from cpu and gpu from the second option or only marginaly, but you will benefit a lot from that more RAM! Depending on the object size 32 GB RAM might be very tight/ too little.
This means it is not activated , GPU acceleration speed it up to 60 frames per second. If GPU is slower it will take advantage of both GPU and CPU at once. Looks like your system do not response properly.
Make sure you use lastest updated version of win 10 or win 11.
And of course latest Nvidia driver
The CPU i5-12400F you have is 44 % slower that the minimum requirement, the minimum is i7 12 gen to use GPU acceleration with your graphic card.
Even i7 8th gen is too slow.
64GB RAM is very good for MetroX but you may have issues with laser mode and definitely no GPU acceleration
The minimum requirement is
i7 12gen, RTX 3050 , 32GB
I use i9 14 Gen, RTX 460 8GB , 64 GB RAM on my laptop and the speed is at full potential .
Ok and how do you compare CPU performance?? Single thread or multi-thread performance?.
I’m looking for an older computer. Unfortunately, there aren’t that many funds for a new computer at the moment.
So I understand correctly that to use GPU acceleration, the minimum requirements are even higher for the CPU
What about AMD processors?
I don’t see any problem. I can see the program switching between modes, and if you close everything else, it does deliver 60-65 FPS.
However, when I look at the monitor, it feels like it’s running at 10-15 FPS.
In any case, this doesn’t affect the final scan result.
In laser mode, it’s completely impossible to capture holes or a proper gear tooth profile, and the other modes are grossly inaccurate in dimensions. Sure, it’s okay for scanning large flat surfaces (>200x200), but that’s where the advantages end.
In my day, software like this was called ‘Early Alpha’.
It can’t go above 60 FPS as that is the limit at this moment .
The frames are captured so not matter what you see in the monitor , many frames are not accepted and removed in real time while scanning like for example single frame with bad alignment . And we talking about Laser Mode.
I would not completely agree with you on that statement , just check the MetroX showcases by advanced in scanning Beta testers for reference.
We suppose to help out user here and not hijacking the thread for personal discussion and opinions out of topic , so let’s get back on it.
You have any suggestions to Revopoint , just post it under suggestions in the forum or contact customer@revopoint3d.com
