Best Graphics Card for Archicad

Anonymous — Tue, 29 Dec 2020 18:21:18 GMT

I don't want to spend more than $1,000. I use the latest versions of ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, and Revit.

ArchiCAD runs particularly slow due to the size of my projects, I currently have an nvidea GTX 1060 and I'll list the rest of my computer specs below.

Right now I'm looking at the nvidea quadro p5000, and also considering the quadro rtx 5000 but I don't know if it's worth it (almost double the price). What do you guys have / recommend?

My computer specs:

Windows 10 x64

Intel i7 3.4 GHz

X99A Motherboard

64 GHz RAM

850 Watt Power Supply

Maybe this sites can help you decide:
https://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/knowledgebase/127710/ This one is for Archicad 24.
https://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/knowledgebase/83528/ This one is for V. 22 and has the 1060 GTX listed.

Which part of Archicad runs slow? 2D redraw, 3D navigation?

I run an RTX2070super built by Gigabyte, which have come down HEAPS in price with the release of the RTX3000 series. Does a good job running Archicad 24 & Twinmotion, on duel screens of course. I too was thinking the 5000 series but at the price of it, I didn't see the point in spending so much money for very little return- my 2070S seems to do a good job I would be focused on what H. Drive you're running, and what chip speeds on your M.Board - as those both have a HUGE factor on ArchiCADs ability to recall data.
