Autodesk Revit

Autodesk Revit is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) software used by architects, engineers, and construction professionals to design, model, and manage buildings and infrastructure.

Revit can also be integrated with other [[Autodesk]] programs, such as [[Autocad]], Navisworks and [[BIM]] 360.

Autodesk only recommends and supports the professional NVIDIA Quadro and AMD FirePro graphics family cards.

Processor (CPU)

  • Best Choice: High-frequency CPUs are perfect for Revit’s design tasks, often using a single core. Intel Core i9 or i7 K-series are great options.
  • Rendering: For rendering tasks, a CPU with more cores, such as those found in the Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 series, can significantly improve performance.

Graphics card (GPU)

  • Best Choice: A mid-range professional GPU like the NVIDIA RTX A4000 is usually sufficient for most Revit users.
  • Advanced Needs: For GPU-based rendering, consider more powerful options like the NVIDIA RTX A5000 or A6000.

Memory (RAM)

  • Minimum: 16 GB is typically sufficient for smaller projects.
  • Recommended: 32 GB is ideal for most users, allowing for multitasking and handling larger models.
  • High-End: 64 GB or more for very large projects or running multiple demanding applications simultaneously.

Storage (Drives)

  • Primary Drive: An NVMe SSD for the operating system and Revit installation ensures fast boot times and quick access to files.
  • Secondary Drive: Another SSD for active projects can further decrease load and save times.
  • Backup Storage: Traditional HDDs or external drives for long-term storage and backups.

Display

  • Resolution: A monitor with at least 1920 x 1080 resolution is recommended, but higher resolutions like 4K can provide better clarity and workspace.

These recommendations should help you configure a system that runs Autodesk Revit efficiently and effectively. For more detailed information, you can check out the official Autodesk Revit system requirements and Puget Systems’ hardware recommendations.
