Workstation Hardware Guide

Pix4D Workstation Guide: Performance & Recommendations

Pix4D is a leading photogrammetry software that transforms aerial and terrestrial images into highly accurate 3D models, maps, and point clouds. Because Pix4D is a CPU-heavy application that also leverages GPU acceleration, choosing the right workstation is essential for maximizing processing speed and workflow efficiency. At Workstation PC, we design Pix4D-optimized workstations that provide faster image processing, seamless model reconstruction, and rock-solid stability, ensuring you get results without unnecessary delays.

Processor (CPU)

How Does Pix4D Utilize the CPU?

Pix4D uses the CPU differently across its processing steps:

Step 1 (Initial Processing): Benefits from high clock speeds, making single-threaded performance important.
Step 2 (Point Cloud and Mesh Generation): Utilizes multiple CPU cores, meaning more cores improve performance.
Step 3 (DSM, Ortho, and Index): Uses moderate core counts, balancing clock speed and multi-threading.

What is the Best CPU for Pix4D?

Your CPU choice depends on the size and type of projects you handle:

Intel Core™ Ultra 9 285K (24 cores) – Excellent for models and small to medium maps (under 500 images).
AMD Threadripper™ 7970X (32 cores) – Best for large-scale mapping and geospatial analysis requiring high memory capacity.

CPU vs. GPU: Which is More Important for Pix4D?

Pix4D relies primarily on the CPU but utilizes the GPU for certain processing steps like depth map generation and point cloud rendering. A well-balanced workstation leverages both for peak performance.

Video Card (GPU)

How Does Pix4D Utilize the GPU?

While Pix4D is CPU-centric, the GPU accelerates:

Step 1 (Initial Processing) – CUDA-enabled GPUs improve feature detection.
Step 2 (Point Cloud & Mesh Generation) – GPU helps process depth maps.
3D Ray Cloud Visualization – Relies on raw GPU power for smooth navigation.

What is the Best GPU for Pix4D?

Since Pix4D only uses one GPU, we recommend a high-performance NVIDIA RTX card:

NVIDIA RTX 5090 (32GB VRAM) – Ideal for massive datasets and complex 3D modeling.
NVIDIA RTX 5080 (16GB VRAM) – Great for large projects and high-resolution photogrammetry.
NVIDIA RTX 5070 (12GB VRAM) – Solid mid-range option for smaller projects.

Should You Use a Professional RTX GPU or a GeForce GPU?

For Pix4D, GeForce RTX GPUs provide better price-to-performance than NVIDIA’s professional RTX GPUs. While professional GPUs have higher VRAM, our testing confirms that Pix4D does not require excessive VRAM, making GeForce cards the best value.

Does Pix4D Support Multiple GPUs?

No. Pix4D only utilizes a single GPU, so investing in one high-end GPU is more effective than using multiple lower-end cards.

Memory (RAM)

How Much RAM Does Pix4D Need?

RAM requirements depend on image resolution, project size, and quality settings. We recommend:

32GB – Suitable for small to mid-size projects.
64GB – Recommended for large datasets and high-resolution imagery.
128GB+ – Ideal for large-scale photogrammetry, GIS, and surveying applications.

If you process high-megapixel images or work on massive mapping projects, having more RAM prevents slowdowns and improves stability.

Storage (Drives)

What is the Best Storage Solution for Pix4D?

Fast storage ensures quick data access, project loading, and efficient processing. We recommend:

Primary Drive (OS & Pix4D Install): 1TB NVMe SSD for fast boot and application performance.
Project Drive (Active Image Files): Dedicated NVMe SSD for large datasets and processing files.
Backup & Archival: HDD, NAS, or external SSDs for long-term storage.

Will an SSD Improve Pix4D Performance?

Yes! NVMe SSDs significantly reduce project load times and ensure fast read/write speeds for image sets and point cloud data.

What is the Best Storage Solution for Backup & Collaboration?

For long-term storage and team collaboration, we recommend:

Network Attached Storage (NAS) – Best for sharing massive datasets across multiple workstations.
External SSDs – Great for portable backups and fieldwork.
Cloud Backup Solutions – Ensures redundancy and security for critical photogrammetry files.
