Thus, you only need a dedicated GPU (2GB or 4GB vRAM) when you deal with large models or if you want faster 3D Viewport.* However, Rendering & Drafting are mostly CPU-tasks. Why? The GPU HELPS when using viewport (rotating model in 3D). I’d say about 90% of Revit users do not need a 6GB vRAM GPU either (which means no need to spend more than 800 bucks). If we are talking about Revit, 99.9% of people DO NOT NEED A WORKSTATION LAPTOP. I haven’t talked about those for one simple reason: What about workstation GPUs? Workstation laptops for Revit? (4GB vRAM GPU).ī) If files are in the range of 1GB, that means you are working on very large models for which a 6GB vRAM GPU and a very high clock CPU with lots of RAM is a MUST (900-1300 dollars).
If you are a professional, you MAY need to buy a laptop with a 6GB vRAM dedicated GPU (3060RTX, 4050RTX).
