# System Requirements

## Overview

Theia3D is an advanced deep learning algorithm-based software which runs and processes data on your local PC. This means that there are specific requirements in order for it to operate properly and perform as intended, which are laid out below.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Although there are laptops available which meet the system requirements and can run Theia software, we generally do not recommend laptops for dedicated processing of markerless data. Their reduced capabilities result in longer processing times, so it is recommended to use a dedicated desktop PC for data processing. 
{% endhint %}

## GPU

One or more CUDA-capable NVIDIA graphics card(s) with the following:

* At least 8 GB of memory
* Support for [compute capability 7.0 or greater](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)
* Updated [graphics card drivers](https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx). The program will not run if the graphics driver is not up to date.

{% hint style="info" %}
Engines for all  graphics cards are built automatically the first time Theia3D is run after installation.
{% endhint %}

## CPU

{% hint style="success" %}
Recommended: octa-core processor or equivalent, e.g. Intel i9, Intel Core Ultra 9, Intel Xeon, AMD Ryzen 9, etc.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Minimum: quad-core processor or equivalent, e.g. Intel i7, Intel Core Ultra 7, Intel Xeon, AMD Ryzen 7, etc.
{% endhint %}

## RAM

{% hint style="success" %}
Recommended: 32 GB or greater.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Minimum: 24 GB.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.theiamarkerless.com/axiom-v2025/theia3d-documentation/getting-started/system-requirements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
