Metashape Workstations Built for Professionals

Metashape Workstations built for professional photogrammetry, powered by Intel Core Ultra CPUs, NVIDIA RTX GPUs, and high-speed DDR5 RAM.

Like many professional software applications, Agisoft provides a list of Metashape system requirements to ensure the program can run. However, these lists typically cover only the bare minimum — hardware that will launch the software but won’t deliver the best workstation performance. They may also include outdated components or miss optimizations that significantly improve processing speed and stability.

For professionals working in photogrammetry, 3D modeling, mapping, and visual effects, a custom-built Agisoft Metashape workstation is essential. With properly configured CPUs, GPUs, memory, and storage, you can process larger datasets, finish projects faster, and avoid workflow bottlenecks.

CPU Performance in Metashape

Metashape uses the CPU differently depending on the stage. Multi-core performance helps in Dense Cloud generation, while clock speed is critical for Mesh Building. That’s why CPUs like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X provide the best balance for professionals. For enterprise-scale photogrammetry, AMD Threadripper PRO and Intel Xeon W processors deliver massive multi-core performance and higher memory capacity.

GPU Performance in Metashape

While the CPU impacts every step, GPU acceleration is crucial in Align Photos, Depth Map Generation, and Mesh Building. A powerful GPU like the NVIDIA RTX 5080 or RTX 4090 can cut processing times significantly. For the largest workloads, the RTX 6000 Ada provides enterprise-grade stability and huge VRAM capacity. NVIDIA GPUs consistently outperform AMD for Metashape, making them the preferred choice for professional workstations.

Memory (RAM) Requirements

RAM determines the maximum dataset size you can process. Agisoft’s own documentation scales requirements based on image size and count — meaning the more high-resolution photos you process, the more memory you need. For most professionals, 64GB is recommended, but large-scale projects often require 128GB–256GB of memory. Running out of RAM can lead to project failures, so it’s best to overprovision.

Storage for Metashape Workstations

Fast NVMe SSDs are critical for caching, saving, and loading large photogrammetry datasets. A 1TB NVMe SSD for OS and software, paired with a 2TB+ NVMe SSD for projects, ensures smooth workflows. For backups and long-term archives, large HDDs or NAS provide the best value and reliability.
