The GPU we have is a NVIDIA T1000, which should have high enough processing capabilities, and has successfully created orthomosaics in the past. The CPU has been able to process imagery, but it takes about 4 times as long as the GPU.</P> Fri, 17 Oct 2025 19:24:59 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/ortho-mapping-defaults-to-cpu-processing/m-p/1658822#M99611 motorcycleparking 2025-10-17T19:24:59Z Re: Ortho Mapping defaults to CPU processing https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/ortho-mapping-defaults-to-cpu-processing/m-p/1659506#M99669 <P>I ran into the same issue after the last update it seems the software sometimes stops detecting the GPU properly.
