Hi all,

I'd like to make a recommendation to my IT guy on the hardware for my workstation. I know what the minimum recommendations are but I'd like to know what I should be using and a brief explanation of why. I generally manipulate datasets with tens of thousands of features, sometimes hundreds of thousands. I feel like there's something missing from my machine but wanted to reach out to see if you all had any input. Thanks!

Here is the specs of my workstation:

CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 4001 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

GPU - NVIDIA GeFroce GTX 750 ti

RAM - 16GB

SSD

Thanks you all for your help.

How much better than the top recommended does your run

especially the link there

Check your computer's ability to run ArcGIS Pro 2.6

Hi Dan,

Here is the report from that systems requirements analysis. This report suggests a better graphics card would be recommended. But 8GB of RAM is all that is recommended for ArcPro? Would there be any benefit from adding more? Thank you!

32 GB Ram, 6 GB dedicated video (22 GB total, dedicated is the key), 1 TB  drive is what I use for my laptop (Surface Book 3)

Everything runs smoothly
