BIM Q&A: Is This Computer Capable of Running Lumion 8?

BIM Q&A | Can This Computer Run Lumion 8?

Processor: 2.2GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB 2400MHz DDR4
Graphics Card: Intel UHD Graphics 630, 1536MB

Can I install Lumion on a MacBook Pro, or do I need a dual-boot system to do so?

Ignore the misleading advice you’ve heard. Lumion 6 and earlier versions can run fine on a GTX 1050, but Lumion 8 is a game-changer. For Lumion 8, a GTX 1060 6GB is the bare minimum. In fact, even in large-scale projects, a GTX 1070 or higher might still struggle.

The Intel Core i5-6300HQ processor has too low a clock speed to be ideal. Lumion doesn’t heavily rely on CPU cores; having more than four cores won’t significantly improve performance. However, a high clock speed is crucial. The graphics card requirements for Lumion 8 are unusually demanding and should not be underestimated.
