Dedicated video cards supporting DirectX 11 or later are strongly recommended.
Consider video cards designed to support CAD applications. The following list of recommendations can help improve performance.
- Integrated video support should be avoided because these cards make use of machine RAM rather than on-card memory.
- Medium range video cards may perform as well as more expensive cards.
- Some performance features depend on video cards supporting Shader Model 5.0.
- To find video cards and drivers that have been certified to work with Revit, refer to www.autodesk.com/hardware.
Use Hardware Acceleration
Hardware acceleration provides faster display of large models upon refresh and quicker switching between windows of views.
