System Requirements
Microsoft operating system:
Windows® 10 (64-bit version)
Windows® 11 (64-bit version)
Processor:
Dual-core 1.80 GHz or better recommended
Quad-core 2.80 GHz or better (additional cores with hyper-threadingsupport highly recommended for Aerial Photogrammetry, Mobile Mapping, and Scanning modules)
Because components of TBC make use of Intel-only multi-thread processing, AMD Ryzen processors are not supported.
Random access memory (RAM):
4 GB or more recommended
32 GB or more recommended for Aerial Photogrammetry, Mobile Mapping, and Scanning modules
Hard drive space available:
30 GB or more recommended
100 GB or more on solid-state drive required for Aerial Photogrammetry, Mobile Mapping, and Scanning modules.
The recommended SSD overall hard drive capacity is 500GB or more for Aerial Photogrammetry, Mobile Mapping, and Scanning modules.
Monitor:
1280 x 1024 or higher resolution with 256 or more colors (at 96 DPI)
I/O Ports:
USB 2.0 port required if HASP hardware key is used
Graphics:
DirectX 11 compatible graphics card
with 512 MB memory or more
OpenGL version 3.2 or later required
when working with point cloud data
(latest version recommended)
8 GB or higher graphics card (for example, NVIDIA Quadro P4000) recommended when working with Aerial Photogrammetry, Mobile Mapping, and Scanning modules
6 GB or higher NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA compute capability (5.0 or higher) required when working with point cloud classification.
If you are using a laptop computer with both an integrated (on-board) graphics card and a discrete NVIDIA graphics card enabled via Optimus technology, your computer must allow you to select to disable the integrated graphics card and use only the discreet graphics card when working with point cloud data. See "Disabling a laptop integrated graphics card" in the "Important Notes" topic in the TBC Help.
It is critical that you keep your graphics driver(s) updated if you are working with point cloud data.
Whether your computer has one or multiple graphics cards installed, you must ensure each has been updated with the latest driver provided by the card's manufacturer. The best way to determine if your driver needs to be updated and, if so, perform the update is to visit the card manufacturer's website. For more information, see "Update and Configure Your Graphics/Video Driver" in the online Help.
(If, instead, you decide to update your driver using the Windows Device Manager and the "Search automatically" option, the program may suggest using a Microsoft-approved WHQL version of the driver. However, to ensure you have the latest bug fixes and new features for your graphics card, it is recommended that you use the latest manufacturer version instead.)
