VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP Computer Specification

• See VTube-LASER Screen Resolution

• Back to VTube-LASER
• Back to VTube-STEP

• We recommend a computer that can handle demanding CAD packages. For example, use a 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 10 on a Pentium i7 with 16 GB of RAM.

• Video Specifications: VTube-LASER Screen Resolution

• Recommended OS: Windows 7 Professional or Windows 10

• Consider avoiding any video cards that are less powerful than the NVIDIA models. Some graphics cards are not only slow, but they can behave erratically with graphics objects on the screen. This is because some graphics cards have bugs in their implementation of OpenGL.

• Avoid any screen resolution that is less than 1920 in the horizontal.

• Avoid using Windows screen fonts set to any value over 100%. 125% works - but makes the program harder to use because it pushes some menu items off the bottom of the screen - requiring the use of more scroll bars to access all the data.

• The program requires 100 MB of disk space (0.1 Gigabyte).
• A parts folder with 100 parts (for example, in "My Documents/VTube") requires about 14 megabytes of disk space.

• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7
  
  
• Installed Memory: 16 GB minimum
  
  
• System Type: 64-bit, Windows 7 Pro or Windows 10 Pro
  
  
• Video card: NVIDIA (strongly recommended to avoid other brands)
  
  
• Hard drive: A solid-state drive (SSD) is critical. A mechanical hard drive will bog this system down - especially if it is running Windows 10.
• VERY fast. This is sold by FARO to run VTube-LASER.
  
  

Highly recommended.

This is one of the faster computers we have run with the FARO and VTube-LASER.
