Inconsistent documentation re. minimum GPU

[kevinfoley]

Description

• The repository README and requirements page list the minimum GPU as an RTX 4080
• The Omniverse Technical Requirements page says that the minimum GPU for Isaac Sim is an RTX 3070
• The Google Cloud Deployment documentation describes installing Isaac Sim on a machine with a single Nvidia T4 (which has the same architecture and number of cores as an RTX 2070 Super, but with twice as much RAM and a slightly lower clockspeed)

Thank you for highlighting the inconsistency. To clarify:

• The minimum GPU requirement listed in the repository README and requirements page refers to running Isaac Sim locally.
• The Omniverse Technical Requirements page’s minimum (RTX 3070) applies to running Omniverse Kit-based applications in general.
• The Google Cloud Deployment documentation listing Nvidia T4 shows a configuration specifically validated for cloud deployments of Isaac Sim, where performance targets and virtualization may differ from local physical desktop requirements.

@vick-yu The Omniverse Technical Requirements page specifically states that the minimum GPU for Isaac Sim is an RTX 3070; this is separate from the minimum GPU for Kit:

Thank you for raising this and for calling out the specific conflicting references. An internal documentation ticket has been created so the minimum GPU requirement for Isaac Sim can be aligned across the README, Isaac Sim requirements, Omniverse Technical Requirements, and cloud deployment docs in a future update.

https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/dev-guide/latest/common/technical-requirements.html#applications-and-application-templates has been updated to reference the Isaac Sim docs instead. Closing.
