City planning research machine | Information dissemination media for research and development TEGAKARI

A customer involved in environmental design research consulted us about a machine for conducting urban planning research.
We would like a machine suitable for landscape design, point cloud processing, and GIS software such as Lumion Pro, ArcGIS, ReCap Pro, Cloud Compare, Metashape, etc.

Based on the information you provided, we proposed the following configuration.

CPU	Core i9-13900K (3.00GHz 8-core + 2.20GHz 16-core)
memory	128GB
Storage 1	2TB M.2 SSD
Storage 2	8TB HDD S-ATA
video	NVIDIA Geforce RTX4090
network	on board (2.5GBase-T x1) Wi-Fi x1
Housing + power supply	Middle tower type housing + 1200W
OS	Microsoft Windows 11 Professional 64bit

We considered the configuration assuming the use of the specified software.
Lumion recommends a high-end model (RTX3090 class) GPU, so in this example, we chose the current top-of-the-line GPU.
If cost is a priority, there is no problem even if the specs are a little lower.

The configuration of this case study is based on the conditions given by the customer.
Please feel free to contact us even if you are considering different conditions from what is posted.
