• Multicore Xeon or i-Series processor or AMD equivalent with SSE2 technology (highest affordable CPU speed rating recommended)


• Multiple cores for many tasks, up to 16 cores for near-photorealistic rendering operations


• 8 GB RAM (Usually sufficient for a typical editing session for a single model up to approximately 300 MB on disk. This estimate is based on internal testing and customer reports. Individual models will vary in their use of computer resources and performance characteristics.)


• Models created in previous versions of Revit software products may require more available memory for the one-time upgrade process


• 5 GB free disk space
