Hello,
I think I know the answer, but I’m asking just to make sure.
My PC has an Intel Arc A770 which is not supported by Revo Metro, could I get round this by installing a NVIDIA Tesla M60/K80?
Thanks
Hi @Ianmw
The K80/M60 are obsolete datacenter cards designed for older, massive-scale parallel computing tasks and are not suitable. If I good remember they don’t even have a display ports.
Revo Metro works best with RTX gaming cards between 3050-5000 series
Please check your scanner product page for specifications and system requirements according to your scanner.
Thanks,
My thinking was just to use the CUDA cores in the K80/M60 for acceleration and to see if anyone else had tried it? Even if I did get it to work, it would probably be more trouble than it’s worth. When my MetroY Pro arrives I’ll see what the performance is like just with CPU (i7 14700K) acceleration and then see if it’s worth purchasing a supported Nvidia GPU.
Thanks Again.

Hi @Ianmw
The i7 14700K is 7–12% slower in processing than the i9 14th Gen what is also as fast as the GPU acceleration, the i7 14700K will be probably 3–5% slower compared to full GPU acceleration but not bad at all.
Let me know how it works for you ! Especially in the Laser mode and how much frames you get.
The Full Field mode and Auto mode do not require GPU acceleration and it will works optimal at full speed.
Hi,
I’m getting 58 frames for Laser, 9 for full field and 15 for Feature, which is fine for me.
Would a supported Nvidia GPU help with post scan processing Fusing, Meshing, hole filling etc? As when looking at the resources used during these processes the CPU isn’t going over 10% and the RAM (64GB) only maxes out if I try something overly detailed, normally during post processing tasks the RAM utilisation is 24 - 32 GB.
Are there any settings (BIOS, Windows 11, Revo Metro) I can adjust to help with speeding up the post processing tasks by full utilising the available resources?
Just to note the post processing speed of normal workloads isn’t painfully slow, but it could be quicker particularly as there are substantial resources left unutilised during these processes.
No a separate note, during WIFI scanning why do the PC and Phone need to connect to the Scanners WIFI and not the Scanner connect to the same local WIFI SSID as the Phone & PC?
Thanks
Hi @Ianmw
You reached the maximum frame rate so it is not bad at all for your CPU. A dedicated GPU acceleration will only speed up your laser mode and that is.
For scans around 7 million points 32GB if RAM is actually enough , unless you going to use Auto mode what uses a lot more data .
The CPU processing for that size of models is actually very fast on my system and the utilization is to 75% using Intel CPU i9 14th Gen while processing , remember that the files the software is writing down is rather huge and it is like text files so the speed not only relays in your CPU & RAM but also how fast it can write down that dokument to you hard drive.
The Scanner Network is much faster than throwing all the data via the local router. It is also designed to be used without lokal network when you are underway , the scanner need to communicate very quick to render the maximum frames per second. Usually the Full Field frame rate is slow enough to use via local network but the laser mode can’t at this moment for that reason to avoid confusion it was set off for local network as the testing results was not successful enough to be allowed in practice at this moment.
The phone only support Full Field because phones are not fast enough to process laser mode.
Remember the Scanner WiFi is pure Network without Internet.
Regarding BIOS settings. There is nothing you can do to speed it up.
Fastest Intel CPU+RAM+HD is only the key , but don’t get crazy about too much , most 3D modeling editing CPU based software are not as fast in processing this huge amount of data , none of them not even Zbruch can do it faster after almost 30 years in making.
Most of my 50 milion 3D models take sometimes one hour to process .
OK, Thanks for your response have a great day.
