Hi everyone,

i'm starting to use Archicad/Sketchup pro with Artlantis and i'm configuring a new PC.

I'm almost done but i have some doubt about the graphic card.
Do you think a NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 512 MB would be enough for this software or a 1GB graphic card would be better?

This is the PC:

DELL Precision T 1500
-One Intel™ Core i7-870 (2.93GHz, 8MB L3, 95W, Quad Core)
-6GB DDR3 non-ECC Memory (1066MHz, 3x2GB)
-512MB PCIe x16 NVIDIA Quadro FX 580.

Thank you for any help.

Roberto

I think it will be enough.
You may not even need a Quadro, a normal GeForce will also do just fine with 512 MB of RAM.
Today's graphics cards have so much power ArchiCAD does not use it all.

Hi laszlonagy,

thank you for replying,

For Archicad will be ok but what do you think for Artlantis?
Would it be better the NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 512 MB or the Geforce GT220 (1GB) or a Geforce GTS240 (1 GB)?

Thank you

Huhhh, I am not familiar with Artlantis system requirements.
Maybe someone else will be able to help you with that.
