VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP Computer Specification

• See VTube-LASER Screen Resolution
• See also Ideal Windows Font Size for VTube
• 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 32 GB of RAM.

• Video Specifications: VTube-LASER Screen Resolution

• Recommended OS: Windows 7 Professional or Windows 10

• CRITICAL: Avoid any screen resolution that is less than 1920 x 1080 pixels.

• SUGGESTED: 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.

• STRONGLY SUGGESTED: 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).
• 100 parts require about 14 megabytes of disk space.

• Intel Xeon E3-1505M @ 3.00GHz (or equivalent or better) 4-core (with Hyperthreading enabled)
• GPU NVIDIA Quadro P5000 (4 GB) or better (Quadro series)
• RAM 64 GB Dual-Channel @ 1063 MHz (or better)
• OS MS Windows 10 ProIEEE802.11AC or AX type Wi-Fi card
• Graphic resolution 1920x1080 pixels or better
• HD 476 GB SSD or better
• The most important components are the processor, graphics card and RAM. Wi-Fi specs important for Wi-Fi connections.

Dell Precision

• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 minimum - i9 preferred
  
  
• Installed Memory: 32 GB minimum - 64 GB preferred
  
  
• System Type: 64-bit, Windows 7 Pro or Windows 10 Pro - Windows 10 preferred
  
  
• Video card: NVIDIA (strongly recommended)
  
  
• Hard drive: A solid-state drive (SSD) is critical. A mechanical hard drive tends to bog Windows speed down - especially if it is running Windows 10.
  
  
• Dell Precision laptops are rugged and very fast
  
  

Highly recommended.
