This is to check if the graphics card on your PC meets the minimum requirements. This is for P2 Machines article lists the requirements and supported GPUs for a PC in order to run InSpec.
This applies to Post 2020 Machines

A graphics card from one of the supported GPU brands as well as a G3D Mark score of more than 1000 is required to run InSpec.

The website PassMark lists many graphics cards GPUs with the performance score “G3D Mark”:

A graphics card with a G3D Mark score of more than 1000 is required to run InSpec.
Supported graphics cards are:

...

AMD “Radeon” HD series like 5700 or better

...

Nvidia “GeForce” 450 or better

...

Supported GPU brands are NVidia and AMD (ATI).

The following models are examples of supported graphics cards that meet the minimum requirements:

  • NVidia GeForce [>4][>50]

  • NVidia Quadro FX4800, K1100M, 2000M, M500M or better

The names in “ “ can be searched in the Videocard Name field on PassMark in combination with a value of 1000 for the G3D Mark in order to filter appropriate cards:

Note that a G3D score of 1000 is a minimumvalue. Hardware selected to meet but not exceed the minimum specifications should be assumed to reflect minimal workflows. If the intent is to use high-resolution / multi-monitor setups, programs with high feature counts, or visualize large, dense point clouds, the GPU should be selected to reflect these workflows by suitably exceeding the minimum specifications.
