Though Intel's latest integrated GPUs (iGPU) are much faster than the old days, they are still slower than what most users will need for Revit - so y ou want to avoid relying on these. Most of their new CPUs actually have a GPU integrated into the CPU (i.e. The other major supplier of GPUs is Intel itself. Nvidia has a consumer (gaming) line of video cards known as "GeForce" and a professional (workstation/CAD) line known as "Quadro".ĪMD has a consumer (gaming) line of video cards known as "Radeon" and a professional (workstation/CAD) line known as "Radeon Pro" (formerly "FirePro"). It's a lot like how Intel sells CPUs but you can't actually purchase a computer from Intel. They typically sell their GPU (chipsets) to other manufacturers who then package them into video cards (or embedded into laptops) that you actually buy (or are provided to computer makers like HP and Dell). There are two main GPU providers: NVIDIA and AMD (formerly ATI). The GPU is the equivalent of a CPU on the video card - an engine that processes data from the computer to your display screen. Discrete graphics generally provides better performance, and y ou'll almost certainly want to have a computer with discrete graphics to take full advantage of all of Revit's "advanced graphic" display features. Integrated is when the GPU is integrated into the CPU itself. Discrete is a video card installed in a desktop or embedded in a laptop motherboard. There are two main types of GPUs: "discrete" graphics, or "integrated" graphics. The "video card" is also referred to as a "graphic card" or as the "GPU" (Graphic Processing Unit). Also please note that the recommendations given here for specific products are not exclusive - there are too many usage scenarios to cover every option. It may seem a little boring and geeky, but you'll be better prepared in making purchasing decisions, or when asking questions or for advice. I've attempted to write this series of posts in a way that will be accessible to everyone.
Still feel free to post questions or comments in this thread. may be slightly different, but the concepts are still the same. The details, model numbers, CPU/GPU names, etc.
Hi all - as of 2019, I'm no longer updating these hardware threads (unless there's a major change in technology or the way Revit utilizes hardware).
