As we prepare to welcome Revit 2018, here is a question regarding processor requirements -
does Revit 2018 place any more demands on the video processor than 2017 did?
Does it dabble in multi-core processors? Currently, we are using I7-7700K (4.5gig).
Would it be a case of 'same game different name' or should we organize ourselves differently?

Hi @Sahay_R
I7-7700K (4.5gig) should be fine for high performance for complex models.
Autodesk Revit software products will use multiple cores for many tasks, using up to 16 cores for near-photorealistic rendering operations.
CPU type for minimum entry level configuration would be :
For high performance, CPU type recommended is as follows:
Video Display 1280 x 1024 with true color Video Adapter Basic Graphics:
Display adapter capable of 24-bit color
Advanced Graphics:
DirectX® 11 capable graphics card with Shader Model 3.
A list of certified cards can be found on the Autodesk Certified Hardware page.

What "tasks", other than rendering, use multiple cores? And how much does having multiple cores benefit those tasks? I was under the impression that the base software does not take advantage of multi-core/thread processing but some of the other features, such as rendering, do. So it was best to try to get the highest clock speed possible and not worry too much about the number of cores.
Hi @Anonymous
Please see article on: Which function in Revit will take use of multiple processors
Let me know if that is close to what you are looking for, or anything specific?

That's exactly what i was looking for, thank you! I did not know that more and more functions each year are utilizing multi-core processing.
@Anonymous Great. I'll watch out for 2018 updates.
Please note that there are differences between the background processes from release to release.
