We’re delighted to announce that Revo Scan 5 MetroX (V5.6.4) now features powerful GPU Acceleration for Windows, offering speeds of up to 60 FPS!
GPU Acceleration Mode (Windows Only) Enhanced stability Optimized user experience for smoother workflows.
*GPU Compatibility: Only NVIDIA RTX 30 and 40 Series GPUs are currently supported.
I have a laptop with a i5-11400, with 48Gb RAM and a NVIDIA Geforce 3050ti, with 4Gb dedicated RAM. (storage is a NVME 2TB), so specs clearly below the minimum, at least in CPU and slightly in GPU.
Well, I had 24-25 frames with 5.4.3, and now 59!! Tried with both parallel and crossed lines. And the user experience looks pretty fluid so far.
MetroX laser scanning experience really improved a lot with GPU support. It’s much more fluent compared to before. For the moment only laser scan is accelerated by GPU. Post-processing like Fusion is still not using GPU.
Global marker tracking improved slightly but still not usable and far behind RaptorX. Only about 140 markers from 200 are recognized and lot of wrong marker trackings. Global marker tracking and marker recognizion need to be improved in future updates.
This is exactly what i sayed. Other scanning SW are also using GPU for processing of the data which accelerates the process and decrease the waiting time.
Sadly Revo Scan MetroX don’t use GPU for processing after scanning yet .
It’s new and just released yesterday and currently only for use with Laser mode to speed up capturing laser frames.
but who knows what the future brings, of course it would be great if we can use it to process the data , but for now it is what it is, one step at a time.
GPU support was improving the last scan a lot. Most annoying issues which remain are bad marker recognizion and poor Global Marker registration performance. This should be the next improvement in RevoScan MetroX SW to close the gap to competition.
I tested the new version on a Core i7 13700K, RTX 3080, 64GB RAM workstation. App installed on a NVMe drive.
The framerate, both when using crossed and parallel lines, jumped from 45 fps to 60 fps.
Lovely. Not only is FPS much higher now, it appears that good (green) data aquisision is considerably faster too. It feels like I need fewer frames than before to get a good scan.
I have a laptop with Nvidia RTX 3500 Ada and it doesn’t look like it’s supported. Are there any plans to support these higher end cards? They’re claming the MetroX is metrology grade and I would think most users in that area will have high end computers and graphics. Seems like these cards should be able to use the GPU acceleration. Hopefully they will hear my plea for future updates.
Nvidia RTX 3500 Ada is only 25% faster than RTX 3050 that cost just $200
It do not provide the preferred speed for best performance of GPU acceleration
this means your CPU will be still used together with your card to meet the requirements.
For just an example your CPU may still run at 80% using your card vs at 12% with RTX 4060
Metrology has nothing to do with GPU acceleration, it still perfectly works fine using just CPU , all metrology is processed on the device itself in real time.
What GPU is used here for is more like a playing a heavy computer game than anything else when using Laser mode. It need fastest frame processing in real time
Just like a game.
The computing and processing is done still exclusive using CPU .
The Dev.team got informed about the all requests and is evaluating the situation and possibilities.
I wasn’t saying GPU acceleration for metrology exactly. I was just saying that people who typically buy a computer for said tasks typically will purchase equipment with certified GPUs like the RTX 3500 Ada, RTX 4000, RT5000, etc. And due to this it seems like they should also be included in optimizations in the Revoscan software to take advantage of these GPUs just like the gaming GeForce GPU versions.
RSMetroX don’t even “cares” if it uses studio driver or game driver.
It’s not that sophisticated.
All it needs the maximum frame power for the task.
I stand with you and everyone else in this thread, if the card is at the same level or more than the minimum requirement, it should be allowed to be used.
The access is denied manually and blacklisted.
It would be easier to whitelist them, test it out one more time with the proper users that actually use the cards in their systems and make decision based on the results , that’s what I would do.
Simple task …
The fact that RTX 5000 series are blocked is ridiculous.
