Technology and System requirements
At the moment, you are provided with basic information on the technology by proDAD
Vitascene. One aspect that is particularly important for correct use is compliance with the
requirements in terms of your PC.
What is a GPU (graphics processing unit)?
Modern graphics cards have an extremely high level of computing power, which is vastly
superior to that of the CPUs used in PCs. With Vitascene this power is used to create effects!
Digital processing is carried out by the graphics card, speeding up the whole procedure
enormously.
Brand new technology – 50 times faster than it used to be – with an accelerated
GPU!
The advantages of GPU processing:
•
up to 50 times faster than using a CPU
•
perfect quality using 16 bit and 32 bit IEEE
•
more precise processing for improved quality and sharper details
