Processor
CPU performance isn’t especially important for DIGITS, and a mid-range CPU will be suitable. If you plan on using multiple GPUs, you should ensure that your CPU has enough PCIe lanes to run each card at its full capacity.
Keep in mind that your SSD takes up a few of those PCIe lanes as well.
Not all user workflows are the same though, so be sure and contact us for an optimized configuration.
Memory
The amount of memory you will need depends on the size of your datasets and how many programs you will have open at any given time alongside DIGITS.
For extremely large datasets, you should take advantage of the high capacity and multi-channel memory support available in multi-CPU platforms.
Graphics Card
DIGITS users should build their systems around GPU power. You should opt for the most powerful GPU possible, and more than one of them if possible.
With DIGITS being an Nvidia product, Nvidia GPUs provide optimal performance.
Higher end Quadro cards may be the best option due to their additional VRAM, and reduced heat output.
Storage
In the past, computers were held back by slow mechanical hard drives. Unless you are storing files which are not accessed too often, in which case mechanical hard drives might be a better choice, Solid State drives should be used for everything else. Having everything stored on SSDs means you’ll be able to copy, move, open and save files quickly and PC and program start times will be reduced.
