### What all scanners have in common
- **Processor (CPU):** Intel i7 or i9, 14th generation, or Intel Core Ultra 7 / Ultra 9, with at least 24 MB of Intel Smart Cache.
- **Memory (RAM):** 32 GB recommended (DDR5 or better), 16 GB minimum.
- **Graphics card:** a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX card, not integrated graphics, with at least 8 GB of dedicated memory (VRAM). Below 8 GB the software will not start.
### What depends on your scanner
| Scanner | Supported NVIDIA RTX graphics cards | Port |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **AVA** | 30 series (3070, 3080, 3090), 40 series (4060 to 4090), 50 series (5050 to 5090) | USB-C with ⚡ |
| **AVA+** | 40 series (4060 to 4090), 50 series (5050 to 5090) | USB-C with ⚡ |
| **OVO3** | 40 series (4060 to 4090), 50 series (5050 to 5090) | USB-C with ⚡ |
| **OVO / HERON** | 30 series (3070, 3080, 3090), 40 series (4060 to 4090), 50 series (5050 to 5090) | Standard USB 3.0 |
### Checking the USB-C port (AVA, AVA+ and OVO3)
The scanner needs a USB-C port that supports **Power Delivery (PD)**. Look for the **lightning bolt (⚡)** next to the USB-C logo. Any speed (5, 10, 20 or 40 Gbps) and any logo style, old or new, works as long as the bolt is there.
- **Bolt present:** the port supports Power Delivery and is suitable for the scanner.
- **No bolt:** the port transfers data only. The scanner may connect, but the port may not power it reliably. Use another port, or add a powered dock.
- **Thunderbolt ports** always support Power Delivery.
