Your card performance is 25% faster than the minimum requirements RTX 3050
so still could works just fine but not on optimum speed because the optimum would request 40% faster performance than your card can offer.
So something between here.
Revo Scan MetroX requires the latest Gamming/Studio Nvidia driver to works optimal.
Hello, we’ll share your feedback with the team and keep you updated on any developments.
We’re continuing to improve the GPU acceleration feature — the team is actively working on it.
And those of us who fall into neither of those categories use what?
For me, I am a hobbyist when it comes to scanning. I am actually trying to learn enough in order to scan some vintage computer parts in order to reproduce them on 3D printers. I surely don’t play any games (there’s not a game in this house) and I am not a professional graphic artist, engineer, etc., who needs to spend $1K - $2K on a display card alone. I purchased a POP2 originally, and only got the Inspire (still in its shipping box) and MetroX (ditto) because I wanted to support Revopoint in their kickstarter efforts. Now I figure that if I ever get to the point I want to be at with scanning, I will probably jump over to the MetroX as my scanner of choice. But right now, I’m still at the VERY early learning stage in my scanning education.
As an answer to my initial question: I have the GeForce RTX3050 OEM because that is what came with this computer. And so far it seems to fill the bill here. [Of course, your mileage may vary…] But imagine my surprise to find that I am a gamer!!!
I hope the powers-that-be here listen to their community & offer as much support as possible when it comes to hardware necessary to run Revopoint products. Yes, everyone knows the meaning of “minimum requirements” but if the Quattro series offers the same or better performance then it needs to be supported.
The problem was it did not offered the full potential after big group of testers tested it out , because it lacked the nesesery features.
The full potential of GPU acceleration is to use it , without the need to run CPU at the highest level .
So if the resources are missed there is nothing else that can be done.
After the Dev.team decide what will be allowed to use to profit the new RS Features the software will be updated, but it is up to them.
And please don’t forget that new RTX cards use separate Game drivers and Studio drivers for different task do it is no more just game card.
For example RTX 4060 with Studio Driver will calculate and proceed data faster and better than 2 years old Quadro cards at the fraction of cost.
I would tend to disagree with this: Quadros cards are overrated waste of money.
Most if not all of designers, engineers and architects run systems that are built on Dual, multi core I9 or Xeon chipsets, and multi CUDA core 24G video ram, and system ram exceeding 128G to handle cad, simulation and real time ray tracing, investing well over $8 K on processor and video. MAC version is over $15K.
To confuse things even more, RTX supports ECC and VR while Quadro RTX supports DDR, raycasting and VR.
Gaming and CAD computers will both work with MetroX though the computer costs and components differ greatly and are optimized for either game engines or scientific visualization.
You taking my comments out of context , we talking here about Quadro cards that are not faster than RTX 3060
And just slightly above RTX 3050.
Scanning using MetroX require RTX 3059 to RTX 4060 for maximum performance at this moment. Having faster card will not make things faster in this case.
We talking about Revo Scan MetroX and MetroX 3D scanner and not what you need for other task.
Remember RTX cards have studio drivers as well for doing specialized computing tasks so it’s not just a game card, because who needs 24GB of VRAM for a gaming purpose.
Still simple mobile RTX 4060 with 8GB will works faster using GPU Acceleration than RTX 3090 ti suprim with 24GB with Studio driver.
For that my comments , quadro cards are more expensive and not worth the money when using Revo Scan and MetroX , simple $300 mobile RTX 4060 will do the optimal work at maximum performance the software offers at this moment.
For the resume my $10 K workstation is slower while scanning using Revo Scan and MetroX with GPU acceleration vs $1500 laptop
Because the software is not sophisticated enough to take advance of it, it just requires basic card.
Is there a reason AMD cards are not supported?
I mean the only difference that comes to mind is CUDA. Revoscan doesn’t use the GPU for calculations during meshing and texturing so it doesn’t seem like it’s using CUDA.
I’m asking because based on what’s happening now, it seems AMD is going to have a majority of GPUs sold in 2025 so ignoring them in Revoscan seems risky
If it don’t used CUDA for calculating scanned frames in real time there will be no reason for not using other cards , the visual part of the software don’t require specific Nvidia card but the scanned frame calculation and saving do.
