Hardware
The below requirements are suitable for both Windows desktops and tablets.
Minimum Requirements
- Display
-
1024 x 768
A display driver supporting OpenGL 3.0 or above is required to display 360° photos.
A display driver supporting either OpenGL® 3.2 (or above) or OpenGL® ES 3.0 (or above) is required.
- Processor
- Desktops and laptops: 1 GHz processor or equivalent (recommended, see below)
- Tablets: Intel i3 processor or equivalent
-
Revu currently does not support ARM processors, like those found in the Surface Pro X. Microsoft has more information in this FAQ.
- RAM
- 4 GB (32-bit Windows)
- 8 GB (64-bit Windows)
- Hard Disk
- At least 5 GB of available space may be required
- Using Revu with typical office documents
- When using Revu for general office applications, a mid-range computer that meets the above requirements may be used.
- Using Revu with large sets of engineering documents
- When working with large drawing sets (for example, construction project bid sets) in which the PDFs may contain hundreds of large format drawings, it is recommended that workstations have adequate memory and processor resources. A recommended hardware configuration would be 64-bit Windows with an Intel i5 Dual Core or better processor, as well as at least 8 GB of RAM. Revu can run on systems with lower specifications; however, a workstation with these specifications will provide the optimal performance.
- Using Revu for OCR
- OCR is included with the 64-bit version of Revu eXtreme. OCR will not work in 32-bit Revu.
