Hi Team, please let me know if it necessary to have a GPU for running the server? I don't have GPU in my current machine and whenever I clicked on the "Show Live" button, the LiveScan3D window is going into a "Not responding" state.

Hi,

I think you need a GPU to display the live view window, but other than that, it should be fine without it.

Thanks Marek for your valuable advise. We are going to procure one GPU.

Thanks again for your quick reply.

Hi,

Just to be clear, you do not need a General Purpose Computing GPU (GPGPU), any GPU should be enough. Most current CPUs have a built in GPU, so on most machines there should be no need for a separate GPU. There might however be issues if you want to run this on a machine that is in a cloud.
