Best value PC for the amateur photographer
Updated 15/01/2022 to the new Intel 12 th Generation platform. To return to the old SKU, click this link – Revit 2021 Performance Workstation
This is our new recommended hardware specification for Autodesk Revit 2022. We have updated the specification to a higher level than our Revit 2021 system in order to improve performance.
Autodesk Revit 2022 performance is very dependent on CPU performance but is not able to use many CPU cores at once. Therefore it is best to choose a processor with a very efficient IPC (instructions per clock) and a high clock speed. The current leader in these metrics is the Intel Core i9-12900K processor so this is included in this system.
Revit 2022 doesn’t utilise the GPU very heavily so we have included a good mid range card in this system. If you have a particular application which does utilise GPU rendering, you could benefit from a higher specification GPU but at present Revit 2022 doesn’t take advantage of this hardware.
Revit 2022 will need 16GB of system memory for most projects but very large projects may benefit from 32GB. We have installed 32GB into this system in order to future proof it and also to allow more than one application to be open at once without impacting on performance.
