Why not gaming GTX Graphic card? It seems GTX more suporior than quadro nowadays. Quda cores in GTX.
Laptop "just NO"! Very good.
Bro thank you so much for this video
Sir which Nvidia rtx series graphic card is equal to qudro series card???
Because Quadro series is much costly…
Yeah, ok. Hardware is hard and software is soft. Got it. Cheers.
Very helpful video thank you!
Hai bro
I m using i3 7th genaration HP laptop. 1 tp harddisk . 4 gp ram .,
Intel graphichs HD 620 .,
I M USING REVIT 2020, autocad 2020 , Aotocad architecture 2020., sketchup 2018 , vray next for both sketchup and revit
Civil engineering student here😂
If we don’t know you,we never used revit!
hi,
i stil still confused about witch better Quadro k6000 or RTX 2080 ???
& witch better CPU xenon or cor i9 or i7 ???
any one try ??
Please see on to the camera lens next time
Pls review these two machines for 3ds MAX – VRay rendering.
ALIENWARE AREA 51m ( intel core i9 – 9900k & RTX 2080 , 32 GB RAM ) it’s a desktop replacement device.
&
Alienware m17 r2 ( intel core i7-9750h & RTX 2080 Max Q , 16 GB RAM)
What about monitor, which monitor good if we use softwares like revit, Photoshop and lumion?
Thanks for all great videos you provided, very informative, Learn a lots from your videos, My System: Acer Predator Helios, 15" Full HD 144Hz, i7 9750, RAM 16GB, GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti, SSD 256 GB, HDD 1TB
Already revit is too costly
Now you saying this way more costly setup
As you should people with less money too learn this so they can’t buy a laptop/pc with that much specs
I love this video, it is 100% real, relatable, and Funny af!
this guy has Revit obsession
Thank you .. very informative and to the point
you need to change that cooler for your CPU, man any gen i7 on stock cooler is like calling for a reactor meltdown and get a ryzen pc, cuz Revit now uses multiple threads
You need a GTX not a quadro for view port modeling
Should invest in processor with turbo boost than with more cores
"Use at least a dual core or quad core" what year it is??
You da best
Some one please tell me
Do Intel i3 processor 1st generation with 8gb ram laptop config is sufficient to run Revit to learn.
Pro tip for keeping the drive C clean. Right click on default directories like Downloads Videos Music etc. and change default location from C to D
He’s wrong… workstation laptops aren’t cheap…gaming ones are affordable.
Hello sir I’m a architect student this video was very useful and I’ve planned to buy a work station, thank you sir.
Good work Balkan. I support all of what you say, other than the Intel processor. I’m an AMD guy, but mostly due to I’m in ATX. All of you newbies.., listen (and subscribe) to this man. Here’s a good resource.
I am using my Lenovo Thinkpad P52 laptop for business – i7 8850H., 16gb ddr4, Nvidia quadro P2000 4gb., and at home Asus TUF Gaming FX504 – i7 8750 , 16gb ddr4, Geforce GTX 1060 6gb. I am using Revit on both. It goes smooth on both, but it depend on size of project. But in general Revit works good also on gaming card with more memory.
You’re wRONG ! about hat to put on disks, windows files and software files are used more often and can slow the workflow so you should put them on SSD, and data files like autocad files, videos, pictures on the HDD cause you only open them once and since HDD is cheaper it comes more often in larger format.
I love youuuuu
I seriously appreciate your work and actually you’re a cool guy, Thank you so much for this informative video. 👍
as a quadro user i may share a little secret – quadro doesnt do shit for 3ds max workflow, nor are they good for most renderers. they have their use in solidvorks, and some other software, but it really vary from software to software. in fact you will be way better of with high end gaming card in 3ds max.
the video is mostly an assembly of "professional" cliches you might read on forums where people have no idea what they are talking about.
what happend with subtitles! thanks balkan!
thank you…u are very kide u know..
Verry well explain about difference between hardware and software.
My man’s wants to pair a dual core or quad core with a quadro
bro what about Nvidia Quadro VX200 ??? is it suitable for 3d workstation
??
I think his workstation laptop recommendation is wrong … gaming laptops literally offer same performance in many rendering softwares while being much cheaper than a workstation laptop
You are the best, I have learnt a lot from you
Bro…i have a sony vaio i purchased it in 2010…i need to buy a pc…i am confused weather to buy lappy or desctop…i might need my lappy im college or at work ..so i should go fr desktop or go fr laptop..
Love the music! ,thanks also for the tips
3:00 – What about AMD’s RX580 or RX590, if not Vega ? In regards to NVIDIA Quadro, it would be nice if you’ve added benchmark references in render time etc. in order to demonstrate some impossible ROI (or value as dollar for performance vs costs and contractual downtime)… But anyways this clip targets school students and such on a budget, so yeah, you’re right. I’d also lurk towards AMD’s GC which are cheaper for about the same performance. And in regards to architects and engineers, as opposed to NVDIA’s gaming solutions (including the RTX 2080), its ALU cores allow for 64 bit double precision calculations… Personally if I was a student with a budget, I’d go with one RX580-RX590, or better yet, two or three RX580 in Crossfire (AMD’s Crossfire also adds more relative efficiency than NVIDIA’s SLI). The RX580 is cheaper, offers more memory and works better than a NVIDIA 1060 and compares to a 1070 (I’m not talking about gaming fps…). Two in crossfire easily beat the NVIDIA 1070 and competes with a 1080 or 2080 in several areas like calculation hash (kind of the same iterative stress imposed by finite element mesh rendering for instance)
Hi, im new to learning these, i’m interested in buying a loptop someday. Can i use both the hdd and the ssd at the same time?
This in incorrect. You need a gaming computer to run rendering programs like lumion
Dear Sir, thanks for best tutorial, I am am very much fine of your tutorial.
today I installed a Sketcup, I am having error "sketchup hardware acceleration is unsupported or has been disabled on your graphics card "
would you please help me to fix this issue
Amazing man. Thank you!!
I appreciate your work and I really love the tutorials in your website they’re ver good.
very useful information Thank you.
You said never use a computer with less than 8 gb of RAM in rendering ! yet later you said 9:31 your computer is " Gb of RAM !
