Therefore, we can strongly advise NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 (or better) for desktop and laptops computers. We recommend looking for cards in the high-end consumer segment (GeForce), as the {{software\|client}} does not make use of the extreme-precision capabilities of the more expensive Quadro cards.		:''*'' We have found that NVIDIA cards provide the best stability in comparison to Intel and AMD.

	===Multi-GPU systems===		===Multi-GPU systems===
	When the {{software\|client}} detects a system with multiple GPU's, such as an Intel processor's integrated graphics chip as well as a dedicated Geforce video card, you may be prompted to [[dual videocard\|ensure the more powerful of the two GPU]]'s is used to run the {{software\|client}}. Specific settings to configure this may vary per vendor. Keep in mind that some systems be also be configured to deactivate the more powerful GPU when running in a power-saving or low-battery mode. In these cases ensure that either the performance mode of the system is changed, or that the more powerful GPU remains available for the {{software\|client}}.

	===Virtualization===		===Virtualization===
	Virtual environments are currently not supported. The {{software\|client}}'s [[3D Visualization]] is one of its basic functionalities. To properly render a 3D environment as performant as possible, the software requires being run on a physical computer. Virtualization software (such as Citrix or VMware) is currently not supported, because the speed of 3D rendering is significantly reduced by virtualization, which abstracts direct access to the GPU, slowing the process of rendering the 3D environment.

	Please make sure you have the latest official drivers installed for your video card from the original manufacturer. In case you upgrade your videocard to a better one from a different manufacturere, please remove the old drivers before running the ~~Tygron Geodesign Platform~~ again. Not removing may result in the hardware check not recognizing your new video card, and thus the platform not starting.

A brief clarification of why each requirement is relevant:
	====CPU====		====CPU====
	The processor is the general "computing" part of a computer, performing most functions of a computer. General responsiveness and performance speed of the {{software\|client}} and the computer itself are (partly) dictated by the processor.

	====GPU====		====GPU====
	Often in the form of a video card, the graphical processor deals with all visualization matters. This component makes the 3D visualization of the {{software\|client}} possible. A better GPU can handle higher quality textures for more detail, better visualization of shadows, more generic trees in wooded areas and more fluent movements with higher frame rates.

	====Screen resolution====		====Screen resolution====
	The number of pixels a computer screen physically has, usually indicated in the dimensions Width x Height (ex: 1920 x 1080). The {{software\|client}} requires sufficient screen space for panels that provide options for interaction with and inspection of a [[project]]'s data.

	====Internet connection====		====Internet connection====
	The core technology of the {{software}} is cloud-based, which means the really heavy lifting in terms of calculations is done in the cloud. This means you need to be connected to the internet, and the better your internet connection the more responsive the application will be when dealing with data updates.

	=====Firewalls=====		=====Firewalls=====
	The ~~Tygron Platform~~ establishes a secure connection to multiple tygron.com subdomains.

	To avoid this, organizations or environments using security measures similar to these should allow an exception for the ~~[[Tygron Client]]~~ application, allowing it to communicate to all (sub)domains of tygron.com. The following should be whitelisted:		To avoid this, organizations or environments using security measures similar to these should allow an exception for the {{software client}} application, allowing it to communicate to all (sub)domains of tygron.com.
