Min pc for revit work

[Anonymous]

Hi Friends, could you please let me know what would be the minimum CPU, Graphic card and etc. for Revit work. I know Autodesk has a guidance in this regard, but it is confusing for me. Thanks

What makes it confusing? What kind of information do you need? Are you refering to this guide?

yes, For example, it says "SSE2 " for CPU type, and I don't' know what it is. I found a dell one which has this specs: 

DELL OPTIPLEX 790 SFF I7 2600 3.4 GHZ 16.0 GB 500GB DVD WIN 10 PRO 5YR WTY USB WIFI - Refurbished

Could you please let me know if it is good?

SSE2 is a kind of processor instruction, nearly every CPU since 2000 has this. I would say your option is a medium variant. It has probably an old processor like i7 2600, but if you are working on small/medium models it is sufficient.

It will all depend on the complexity of your model.

Things that affect it are the amount of families loaded, size of work, views detail.

As for the CPU, I have been able to work on a 1.90GHz with 4GB RAM and no dedicated graphics card, again I kept Complexity to a minimum.
