Recommended Hardware

WINDOWS 10:

The PresenZ Viewer uses DirectX12, hence it will only run with Windows 10.

VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSET:

The Viewer is compatible with any OpenVR Headset like:

  • HTC Vive
  • Oculus
  • Microsoft Mixed Reality
  • StarVR
  • …

GRAPHICS CARD:

For the moment we only support NVidia Cards with a minimum of 6GB RAM.

  • The DashBoard/Viewer allows you in desktop mode to pre-visualise the PresenZ rendering on your Monitor. For that mode a GTX 1060 should suffice, since you’re not bound to any frame rate to avoid cybersickness.
  • For the VR Mode we suggest to be able to see the more heavy scenes to use a GTX 1080.

PROCESSOR:

  • Intel i7 or i9, minimum 4 cores with 2.8 Ghz base frequency.
  • AMD Ryzen – untested.

RAM:

  • Minimum Ram: 16 GB of DDR4

CHIPSETS:

  • For movie playback we need 20 PCIE 3.0 lanes. 16 for the graphics card and 4 for the NVME SSD. So the Processor/chipset association should provide those lanes. We successfully used: X99,X299, H170,H270,H370, Z170,Z270,Z370

SSD For Animation:

The PresenZ Player for animated content ( available on request ) can run the movie from an SSD.

It needs to be a fast NVme PCIExpress 3.0 4x lane SSD that can sustain high bandwidth ( up to 1.5 GBytes/s ) for long periods without going into thermal throttling.

We highly recommend the models we have successfully stress-tested:

  • Intel 750
  • Intel 760p with heatsink
  • Samsung 970 Pro with heatsink

Note: Samsung EVO models and previous Samsung Pro’s don’t work well with PresenZ because of thermal throttling.
