System Requirements

Comprehensive specifications for running Daydream Scope locally or in the cloud. Use this reference to verify compatibility, plan hardware purchases, or troubleshoot performance issues.

​
GPU Requirements by Pipeline

​
StreamDiffusion V2 Pipeline

  • Minimum VRAM: 24GB
  • CUDA Version: 12.8+
StreamDiffusion V2 provides real-time video generation with streaming capabilities.

​
LongLive Pipeline

  • Minimum VRAM: 24GB
  • CUDA Version: 12.8+
LongLive enables extended generation capabilities for longer video sequences with consistent quality.

​
Krea Realtime Pipeline

  • Minimum VRAM: 32GB (40GB recommended for higher resolutions)
  • CUDA Version: 12.8+
Krea Realtime requires significantly more VRAM than other pipelines. You can run it on 32GB GPUs with fp8 quantization at lower resolutions, but 40GB+ is recommended for optimal performance at higher resolutions.
Better GPUs generally yield better results with higher FPS and lower latency.

​
Software Dependencies

​
Required Software

  • CUDA Drivers: Version 12.8 or higher
  • UV: Python package manager (used to run the Scope server)
  • Node.js and npm: Required for building the frontend
  • Operating System: Linux or Windows

​
Verifying CUDA Installation

To check your CUDA version and GPU status: 
nvidia-smi
The output should show your GPU model and a CUDA version of at least 12.8.

​
Cloud Deployment Options

Don’t have access to a local GPU? Scope can run on cloud GPU services.

​
RunPod

RunPod is a cloud GPU service that supports Scope deployment. We provide a pre-configured template for easy setup. Minimum GPU Requirements:
  • ≥24GB VRAM for StreamDiffusion V2 and LongLive
  • ≥32GB VRAM for Krea Realtime (≥40GB recommended)
  • CUDA 12.8+ support
Recommended Instance Types:
  • NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB) - Good for StreamDiffusion V2 and LongLive
  • NVIDIA RTX 5090 (32GB) - Recommended for Krea Realtime
For detailed RunPod setup instructions, see the Quick Start guide.
