It depends on what rendering program we use for rendering our Revit model (design), If anyone uses Lumion or similar software, you should get a good graphic card.
Revit will run faster with a faster base-clock CPU speed. Overclocking, making the CPU run faster, is capable through an unlocked CPU, managed by a specialized motherboard, and requires upgraded cooling to extend the life of the CPU and stability. Typically, the faster CPUs don't have a high core count, so don't sacrifice speed for additional cores. CPUs and graphic cards are seeing unprecedented global shortages due to high demands. Typically, Revit users also use real-time rendering applications that require a high-end video card, which will only add to your Revit experience. The sweet spot is an NVidia 3060 with 12 GB Ram. System Ram is not a critical component; 32 GB of ddr4 3200 cl15 is sufficient for a good experience. Don't skimp on your hard drive; buy a Samsung Pro NVME m.2, and don't look back.
Revit power users IMHO really don't need any more cores higher than 6c/12t. Autodesk Revit/AutoCAD still utilizes single core usage, this means if you have 16cores/32 threads, it will only utilize 1 core. The only important thing to boost up is higher core clocks and I mean by that is overclocking your chip. Higher single core clock = much better performance. Higher single core performance = much better. Also, better to put that money into 1TB nvme ssd, higher frequency ram, a cooling setup for overclocking, higher power supply unit. etc. Anything more than 6c/12t is a total waste of money unless you render scenes or videos. But as far as my experience, rendering time difference from 6c/12t isnt really that significant from higher core counts if you have all the time in the world to render :)
I know this is kinda late, but don't get anything but 12th gen intel if u want decent Revit performance. The single thread performance of 12th gen intel is really good and if you do rendering on cpu just get 12700k or 12900k or even 12600k. BIMBOX right now is selling a garbage 11th intel computer for 5000$. Which doesn't make any sense, unless you are an organization that need very solid customer service.
Do you know how Revit might perform with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with integrated GPU and no discrete GPU? Would use either 16gb or 32gb RAM. It would be for entry level Revit use for basic projects to learn to use Revit. Plan to add a discrete GPU in a year or so. Thanks.
That's because Revit does not utilize GPU, it utilizes on single core performance of a CPU. That means if you have a 16c/32t chip, it only utilizes 1 core. BIMBOX recommended specs in this video is total BS and you dont need that high spec for Revit. 6core/12thread CPU with overclocking capabilites, 16GB 3000mhz+ DDR4, SSD, and anything GTX 10 series or 20series are fine. unless you want to render at fast speeds, but nobody really wants faster render times if you have all the time in the world :)
I'm not too familiar with hardware mechanics but could you have both a quadro and geforce in the same system? And would this get you the autodesk support just by having a quadro in your system?
No, you can't. I think the point we were making is Autodesk NOT supporting you because of your graphics card is no longer an issue. Even if it says it in your Revit settings.
Why does Twin Motion crash, especially when I use a direct link and when I use vegetation scatter. Would that be the graphics card or the processor? or both? Also when I change materials in Revit I hear the fan running high speed. Just trying to pinpoint the problem, overall my computer is working nicely, but would like to tweak it to reduce the crashing, this as you can imagine is the source of major anxiety lol. Thank you for the great channel!
I am not an expert on TwinMotion nor do I know if this is really the solution. I use a laptop over 3 years old with a GTX 1070 and I found that reducing the graphic details to medium and low reduced my GPU usage from 100% to 70% and I found that the reduction helped reduce the frequency of crashes. My guess is my TwinMotion was crashing since it was at 100% and then I'd ask it to do a scatter. Maybe this helps.
I would also suggest NOT using direct link when using vegetation scatter. Vegetation scatter is very temperamental in how it reacts to changes of it's host. In fact, I usually bring in the surfaces for vegetation scatter as it's own import so I don't have to refresh it 100 times as the building changes.
@@TheRevitKid thats interesting, Ill try that. Are you using datasmith to import? And the topo brought in separately from revit? not completely sure how your saying to do it, ill give it a try. BTW the new update to twin motion has been amazing (so far) thank god, almost no crashes. Also, fyi, I took your free course for twin motion when I first started it was great so Thank You! I have been using twin motion on all my projects since. typical workflow right now, Revit - Twin motion - Premiere, really enjoying this way of presenting to my clients. Have to develop my premiere skills as well.
The process of delidding can critically damage your processor. Our technicians are highly trained and use specialized tools in a controlled environment. BIMBOX is the only manufacturer that offer production workstations with delided processors backed backed by a full 3 year warranty.
Interesting. Didn't know about deliding until now. I looked into Boxx's $ and they're WAY over my head as a single user. I showed the numbers to an IT mgr and he about collapsed. lol
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14. Hi, I'm looking for a compact 14-inch laptop that I can use to go to customers and that can process models with 300-500MB well (rendering & data import/export). it shouldn't look too much like gaming, what would you recommend? does anyone have any experience with the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RK-L8160X (14", AMD Ryzen 9, 32 GB RAM, 1000 GB SSD, AMD Radeon RX 6800 S with 8 GB GDDR6 graphics memory. I'm a programmer and I work with revit every day, partly also mobile. But I have no experience with AMD. Thanks for the help.
@@TheRevitKid hey man, it's not your face... It's the expression! 😆 When everyone does those thirst-trapping faces, it makes CZcams hard to look at 😯 🤪😛😲🥴🤢🤮
im still running a 1080ti water-cooled card setup on 64 gig Ram, i9 processor. And i can still do all of my projects well.
That’s a great setup !!

Don’t shortchange RAM. I’ve got a Revit model on a mega project that easily uses 90+ GB of RAM when exporting NWCs, IFCs, PDFs, or DWGs.
Agreed!

Wait, does Revit even use a GPU? I've never seen it clock.
