Revit Workstation
Configuration Recommendations
CPU / PROCESSOR
Revit requires a strong mix of single-threaded and multi-threaded CPU performance to operate at its peak. Single-threaded CPU performance is important for model manipulation and general design tasks. This specification is determined by a CPU’s operating frequency, a value given in GHz. The higher the GHz value, the faster single-threaded tasks will process. Many Revit tasks are multi-threaded, meaning they can make use of multi-core CPUs up to 16 cores. Multi-threaded tasks including rendering, many point-cloud operations, and heavy multi-tasking. A very solid system recommendation would be the Orbital Silenced C2000, which has up to 10 cores & 5.3 GHz Max Turbo Frequency. For maximum rendering and point cloud performance, the Orbital C3000 Pro with an i9 CPU would be recommended as the increased number of CPU cores will significantly speed up multi-threaded task processing.
SYSTEM
For most users, the Orbital Silenced C2000 is the recommended base workstation for Revit. The C2000 is available with the fastest single-threaded Intel Core i7 CPU while still maintaining a healthy amount of CPU cores/threads. For Revit users who perform heavy rendering or are working on extremely complex models (e.g. large commercial buildings, large point-clouds, etc), we recommend the C3000 Pro with an Intel Core i9 CPU that offers more cores/threads with a high operating frequency.
STORAGE
A fast solid state drive (SSD) is included by default on all Orbital workstations. Fast drives will help improve file loading, saving, and transferring times. For most Revit workstations, we recommend at least a 500GB solid state drive for your operating system and all programs, as well as a traditional hard drive as needed for long-term storage of spare data. We also offer Samsung M.2 NVMe PCI-e SSDs which operate at speeds nearly 5-6 times faster than normal SSDs for maximum storage performance. M.2 SSDs will provide major improvements in point-cloud operations as that data may be streaming to/from the disk while running Revit.
GRAPHICS CARD
AutoDesk specifically recommend the Nvidia Quadro line of professional workstation graphics cards, however, Orbital Computers has found through testing and supporting AutoCAD workstations over the years that Nvidia’s RTX GeForce cards work very well for AutoCAD as well. The GeForce cards provide considerably more performance per dollar as compared to the Quadro cards so feel free to choose either the Quadro or GeForce card for your workstation. For light to heavy 2D AutoCAD workloads, the Nvidia P620 is recommended. For moderate 3D workloads, the Quadro P2200 or GeForce RTX 2060 is ideal. For very heavy 3D workloads, the Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 or GeForce RTX 2080 Super are recommended for their increased video-RAM capacity and greater number of CUDA processing cores which will enable larger, more detailed 3D scenes to be edited and manipulated with higher frame rates. Our RTX-based CAD systems are shipped with Nvidia’s Studio Drivers, which are designed to operate flawlessly with modern high-end CAD packages.
MEMORY / RAM
Revit memory requirements are determined by how large and complex your model is and how extensive you want your edit history to be. For most people, 32GB of RAM should be enough, but if your workload is particularly large, complex, or detailed, you may want to increase the RAM capacity to 64GB. It is important to configure the system with enough RAM such that Revit never runs out of memory capacity. If Revit runs out of RAM, the data spills over to the paging file, which will have a negative impact on performance. All Orbital Computers Workstations are designed to be user expandable with non-proprietary memory modules; that way you can start with a lower RAM capacity to keep costs down and upgrade as needed in the future. All RAM used by Orbital comes with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty on parts.
