Hardware & Operating System Requirements
Earth Volumetric Studio (EVS) has very few specific hardware requirements, and has been designed to run on a wide range of PC hardware. The software will run on virtually any Windows computer with Windows 7 or higher.
The following table gives Recommended and Ideal system configurations. Of these requirements, CPU speed, number of cores, memory speed have the greatest impact on calculation time, while graphics resolution and number monitors affects the appearance and usability the greatest. All system hardware must meet 64 bit - Windows 7 or higher hardware requirements.
