System requirements

Undet for Ares Commander is a plug-in for Ares Commander® software that can only be installed on Windows PC’s with Ares Commander® installed.

Operating System: Windows 10 & 11 OS 64-bit. MAC is not supported (incl. Boot Camp).

Supported Ares Commander versions: ARES® Commander 2025 for Windows® 64-bit

Technical requirements: the Minimal technical requirements are the same as for Ares Commander, but since Undet is dealing with point clouds, which is often heavy and data-rich (millions of points having XYZ coordinates, Intensity and RGB values) some specs are worth upgrading.

RAM: The bigger the point cloud project, the more RAM will be needed. Most users with small-scale point clouds will be fine with 16 GB of RAM. When dealing with tens of gigabytes of scan data, 32 GB of RAM will be welcome. Heavy-duty point cloud professionals utilizing hundreds of gigabytes in a single project will appreciate 64 GB of RAM or more.

  • Minimum: 16 GB
  • Recommended: 32 GB
  • For large-scale projects: 64 GB or more.

Hard Drive: An SSD is far faster than an HDD. If your project is located on a server machine’s drive, LAN will reduce performance considerably. Thus, copy your project to the local drive for better performance.

  • SSD (Solid State Drive) is highly recommended for faster performance.
  • Projects stored on server drives may experience reduced performance. Copy them to a local drive when possible.

CPU: Multiple threads are not supported. Therefore, you need to pay attention to single-thread performance.

GPU: While your CPU can render graphics, it’ll do so at a much slower rate than a GPU. Thus, we recommend using graphical processors like Nvidia or AMD with 3D Graphics accelerator cards with OpenGL version 4.4 or newer. For example:

  • Minimum: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD equivalent with 6 GB VRAM.
  • Recommended: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD equivalent with 12 GB VRAM.
  • Ensure the latest available drivers are installed.

NOTE: In cases where you have multiple GPU’s, Undet for Ares Commander will only utilize one of those GPU’s. In some cases, you will need to manually disable the integrated video card.
