Software Requirements
VertiGIS Studio Desktop 1.9.x is compatible with ArcGIS Pro 3.3 and later.
Software |
Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|
Microsoft .NET |
Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0, using a Windows x64 installer. Although .NET 9 is backward compatible with .NET 8, the ArcGIS Pro 3.4 system requirements specify that .NET 9 or later does not satisfy this software requirement. |
Operating System
Operating System |
|---|
Windows 11 Home, Pro, and Enterprise (64 bit) |
Windows 10 Home, Pro, and Enterprise (64 bit) |
Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit) |
Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit) |
Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit) |
Hardware Requirements
The minimum, recommended, and optimal requirements to run ArcGIS Pro with Studio Desktop are listed below. Minimum requirements will support the application, but may not perform well. Recommended requirements perform well in most situations. Best performance is gained using the Optimal requirements.
Item |
Supported and Recommended |
|---|---|
CPU |
Minimum: 2 cores, simultaneous multithreading Simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading, of CPUs typically features two threads per core. A multithreaded 2-core CPU will have four threads available for processing, while a multithreaded 6-core CPU will have 12 threads available for processing. Full Motion Video has higher minimum and recommended CPU specifications. See Introduction to Full Motion Video for details. |
Recommended: 4 cores |
|
Optimal: 10 cores |
|
Platform |
x64 |
Storage |
Minimum: 32 GB of free space |
Recommended: 32 GB or more of free space on a solid-state drive (SSD) |
|
Memory/RAM |
Minimum: 8 GB |
Recommended: 32 GB |
|
Optimal: 64 GB or more |
|
Dedicated (not shared) graphics memory |
Recommended: 4 GB or more If you are using a notebook computer with an integrated GPU, consider increasing the system RAM to compensate for the use of shared memory. |
Visualization cache |
The temporary visualization cache can consume up to 32 GB of space, if available, in the user-selected location. By default, the visualization cache is written to the user profile’s \Local subfolder, so it does not roam with the user profile if roaming profiles are enabled by your system administrator. |
DirectX* |
Minimum: DirectX 11, feature level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0 |
OpenGL* |
Minimum: OpenGL 4.3 with the ARB_clip_control and EXT_texture_compression_s3tc extensions |
Recommended: OpenGL 4.5 with the ARB_shader_draw_parameters, EXT_swap_control, EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, and EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic extensions |
|
Screen resolution |
Minimum: 1024x768 |
Recommended: 1080p or higher |
If DirectX requirements are not met, OpenGL is automatically used. You can also manually change to OpenGL, such as when you suspect an issue with your DirectX driver.
It is recommended to use an SSD for the data drive due to the robust increase in performance, especially when dealing with large data sets.
