Hi All, I am going to migrate to Revit this month and would like to enquire whether the latest Intel UHD 620 Graphics laptops can work in light performance for Revit? CES 2019 is around the corner and new specs will also be released! The work I will be doing will be for single home extensions, New Builds etc with again light rendering. For now, it’s not for large scale work, perhaps eventually..I know workstations will be recommended and I am aware Autodesk also publish graphics and spec requirements on their website and recommend Quadro DGPU’s. But my work to start with is light modelling and migrating from AutoCAD to Revit gradually. I was looking at purchasing lightweight 2-in-1’s for portability and multiuse laptops like the Lenovo 14” X1 yoga, or the Dell XPS 13” or 13” HP Spectre....any advice is greatly appreciated?
Gelöst! Gehe zur Lösung
I have a Surface Book 2 which runs UHD 620 in the tablet portion, think for small projects it would be ok. Haven't run it much in that mode (when you have a 1060 why not use it!) but think having enough RAM (8-16min) would be more important limitation.
I accidentally ran Enscape Web (Revit model exported to their web viewer) using the 620 engine (until got the settings right for external card) and it was still quite usable.

Even got Revit running, but more just to see if could, on a Surface Go. It was slow but impressed this thing could run it at all

Thank you for your response Robin. Much appreciated. It seems Revit requires more CPU horsepower than GPU! I was going to purchase the Surface Book 2, but it limits the RAM to 16GB and not upgradable! Nowadays laptops have 6 cores! Would you still suggest the Surface Book2 or any other spec? I note from your hardware list, you have a PC and tablet. I’m looking to buy a workstation laptop, the Thinkpad P1. Work is currently one off houses and extensions. I like the portability and 2-in-1 of the X1 yoga which unfortunately comes with only UHD graphics and can’t compare to the P1, but the 2-in1 and portability ticks so many boxes!...assuming Revit requires more horsepower in graphics and CPU I am struggling to choose which to purchase..
The hardware in signature is work, the SB2 is at home. 16GB is a limitation for serious work but fine for the sort of Revit play I do at home. Have you considered the HP ZBook X2, more like a Surface Pro but with workstation spec.

Hi Robin, thank you for your response again. I shall certainly look into the HP Zbook you recommended.
