# 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" %}
Pre-built engines are provided for NVIDIA RTX 3090 and NVIDIA RTX 4090. Engines for all other graphics cards are built automatically the first time Theia3D is run after installation.
{% endhint %}

## CPU

{% hint style="success" %}
Recommended: octa-core i9 processor or better.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Minimum: quad-core i7 processor or equivalent.
{% endhint %}

## RAM

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

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