Before installing or upgrading ArcGIS Reality Studio, ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements to run it. Also, learn what resources are recommended for best performance.
Supported operating systems
The software is supported on the Microsoft Windows operating systems listed below, as long as the operating system is also currently supported by its provider for general or public use.
| Operating system | Latest update or service pack tested |
|---|---|
Windows 11 Home, Pro, and Enterprise (64 bit) | Feb 2023 update |
Windows 10 Home, Pro, and Enterprise (64 bit) | Feb 2023 update |
Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit) | Feb 2023 update |
Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit) | Feb 2023 update |
Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit) | Feb 2023 update |
Note:
- Prior and future updates or service packs for these operating system versions are supported unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.
- The Desktop Experience option is required on all versions of Windows Server.
Hardware requirements
The minimum, recommended, and optimal requirements to run ArcGIS Reality Studio are listed below. Minimum requirements will support the application, but may not perform well. Recommended requirements perform well in most situations. Best performance is gained using the Optimal requirements.
| Item | Supported and recommended | |
|---|---|---|
CPU | Minimum: 6 cores, simultaneous multithreading | |
Recommended: 24 cores; 3.0 GHz or higher clock speed per core. ArcGIS Reality Studio can use up to 48 CPU threads. Examples: Intel Xeon/i9/i7 or AMD Threadripper/Epyc | ||
Platform | x64 | |
Storage | Recommended free local storage for project directory: 1TB | |
Recommended free local storage for contributing nodes: 1TB | ||
Recommended free network storage based on dataset size: 1,500 images or less: 4TB 5,000 images or less: 12TB 10,000 images or less: 24TB 70,000 images or less: 32TB | ||
Memory/RAM | Recommended based on dataset size: 10,000 images or less: 64 GB 35,000 images or less: 128 GB 70,000 images or less: 256 GB Available memory is dynamically used to improve performance. | |
Visualization cache | The temporary visualization cache can consume up to 32 GB of space, if available, in the user-selected location. By default, the visualization cache is written to the user profile’s \Local subfolder, so it does not roam with the user profile if roaming profiles are enabled by your system administrator. | |
DirectX* | Minimum: DirectX 11, feature level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0 | |
OpenGL* | Minimum: OpenGL 4.3 with the ARB_clip_control and EXT_texture_compression_s3tc extensions | |
Recommended: OpenGL 4.5 with the ARB_shader_draw_parameters, EXT_swap_control, EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, and EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic extensions | ||
Screen resolution | Minimum: 1024x768 | |
Note:
Be sure to use the latest available driver.
When using a GPU, be sure it is currently supported by the manufacturer.
Cloud storage services, such as Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive, are not supported unless stated otherwise in the documentation about specific tools and functionality.
General-purpose computing on a GPU
Support for general-purpose computing on a GPU (GPGPU) using CUDA is not required to run the software but is recommended. GPGPU can also accelerate processing.
| Item | Supported and recommended |
|---|---|
GPU type | NVIDIA GPU with CUDA compute capability 3.7 minimum; 6.1 or later recommended. ArcGIS Reality Studio uses a single GPU. See the list of CUDA-enabled cards to determine compute capability of a GPU. Examples: RTX8000, RTX3090, Titan RTX, RTX6000, RTX3080, RTX2080Ti |
GPU driver | NVIDIA GPU drivers: version 456.38 or later is required. |
Dedicated graphics memory | Minimum: 6 GB |
Recommended: 20 GB or more | |
Memory requirements depend on the model architecture and batch size being used. Available memory is dynamically used to improve performance. |
Note:
An out-of-date GPU driver will cause deep learning tools to fail with runtime errors indicating that CUDA is not installed or an unsupported toolchain is present. Verify that you have up-to-date GPU drivers directly provided by NVIDIA.
Software requirements
The following software must be installed before installing ArcGIS Reality Studio:
| Software | Minimum requirement |
|---|---|
Microsoft .NET | Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.5 or a later patch release (6.0.6 and so on), using a Windows x64 installer, is required. The presence of Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 7 or later is inconsequential. |
Licensing
A Single Use license is the only license type available for ArcGIS Reality Studio.
