Hi All! In the system recommendations for Revit 2010 it is stated that you will need a " Dedicated video card with hardware support for directX 9 (or later) Does anyone know what would be a good card that fits this recommendation. I am looking for application in an architecture office environment, which will exclude high-end gaming cards (unfortunately :-) ) Thanks & Best regards, Sanio

I use both Nvidia Quadro FX series and ATI FireGL series workstation cards, both support directx9 and seem to support 2010 quite nicely, even my laptop Nvidia geforce 7950 gtxs seem to work ok. The performance isnt GREAT!! but it is improved.

Great! That means something like a geforce 8600gt 256mb, which retails at around 50$-60$ would do the job?

All design packages say that you have to have a dedicated graphics card. But from the reviews that I have read up on say that a shared graphics system will work. If you do have the money for a dedicated graphics card, go for one that has accelerated graphics as this will improve the overall loading time of the graphics for any windows program. Hope this info can help you!!

well, turns out ATI cards can give you a hard time if you want to use the DirectX acceleration - I tried 4 different ones in 3 different computers (could be a Vista problem) and had problems plotting (weird that it is connected) - elements were randomly missing which could be a serious issue as you can imagine.

The graphics card has nothing to do with rendering time. As soon as you hit "render", its all about the CPU. With that said, in Revit's model performance tech spec sheets, they clearly say that Revit will not use more than 4 cores for rendering. So getting a 2x4-core set up is worthless. Also, a quadro (or any workstation) card is not necessary. All you need is a current card with some decent specs. The graphics card is used more for when you are modeling in Revit and model regeneration.
