Hi all, we are about to order the following setups for workstations & laptops.

We are currently running Revit Arch 2010 & will upgrade to Revit Arch 2012.

Users on these compters will do very little rendering but will be working on models upwards of 80-100 mb

Does anybody have any objections to what is specd, I check Autodesk website on both graphic cards & they are both approved & recomennded.

Thank You for your input.

Thanks, Alan

Hi,

I have the same combination of machines,

However, even with 16g ram revit is still slow.  How do  you find things?

I can't see any difference between these beasts and my old machines.

Perhaps you know how to tune the machines, let me know what you think

 

Regards

Paul
