System requirements - Desktop

The VU.CITY Desktop application requires increased processing for each loaded tile, generated Viewshed view, etc. As performance depends on GPU power, VRAM capacity, and a capable CPU, we recommend the following specification tiers:

Minimum

• Windows 10 64-bit or later
• NVIDIA / AMD / Intel GPU with 4 GB VRAM*
• Intel Core i5 (11th gen or newer, 4 cores, U/P/H-series) or AMD Ryzen 5 (5000U series, 6 cores)
• 16 GB DDR4 RAM (dual-channel preferably)
• 256 GB NVMe SSD (PCIe 3.0 or newer)

* GPUs with lower specs or only integrated graphics (iGPUs) may struggle with ZTV or not support it.

Recommended

• Windows 10/11 64-bit
• NVIDIA / AMD / Intel GPU with 6 GB VRAM or more
• Intel Core i5 (11th gen or newer, H-series, 6+ cores) or AMD Ryzen 5 (5000/6000 H-series, 6 cores)
• 16/32* GB DDR4 or newer RAM (dual-channel preferably)
• ≥ 256 GB NVMe SSD (PCIe 3.0 or newer)

* 32 GB RAM is recommended when using VU.CITY alongside other heavy software or numerous open tabs.
