RAM

In most cases, the maximum project size that can be processed on a machine is limited by the amount of RAM available. Therefore, it is important to select a platform that allows the amount of RAM required for the projects to be processed to be installed. See the article Memory Requirements for information on typical RAM consumption in common processing steps.

CPU

GPU

Agisoft Metashape supports GPU acceleration for most resource-intensive processing steps, due to which it is possible to accelerate processing using high-end OpenCL or CUDA-compatible graphics cards with a large number of unified shaders (CUDA cores or shader processing units).

Basic Configuration

up to 32 GB RAM (Laptop or Desktop)

CPU: 4 – 12 cores Intel, AMD or Apple M1/M2 processor, 2.0+ GHz

RAM: 16 – 32 GB

GPU: NVIDIA or AMD GPU with 1024+ unified shaders
(For example: GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 5600M)

Advanced Configuration

up to 128 GB RAM (Desktop or Workstation)

CPU: 6 – 32 cores Intel or AMD processor, 3.0+ GHz
(For example: Intel i7 / i9 or AMD Ryzen 7 / Ryzen 9 / Threadripper)

RAM: 32 – 128 GB

GPU: 1 – 2 NVIDIA or AMD GPUs with 1920+ unified shaders
(For example: GeForce RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 6800 XT)

Extreme Configuration

128+ GB RAM (Server)

For processing of extremely large data sets a dual-socket Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC based servers (3.0+ GHz) with Quadro, Tesla, Radeon Pro or Instinct GPUs can be used.
