Recommendations
These hardware recommendations apply to systems running the Server-Side Renderer.
Recommended hardware
Processor: Quad Core or better
Memory: 16GB minimum
Graphics Hardware: Performance is highly dependent on model complexity. We recommend using NVIDIA Geforce GTX or NVIDIA GRID GPUs.
Important Note: On Linux platforms, most desktop graphics devices will work for development purposes, however, the HOOPS Visualize Web team highly recommends using NVIDIA devices and drivers for server deployments.
