The example file was called Villa Von Manen.

We decided the best way to quantify the performance of various GPUs in Lumion 10.5 was simply to measure the amount of time it took each GPU to complete the same video render. We used an example movie animation clip from an example file included on Lumion 10.5. The P2200 is the most recently launched addition to the Quadro series and serves as our typical mid to high end Quadro card for 3D OpenGL-oriented applications.

Unfortunately, it’s usually out of its element when talking about 3D DirectX focused applications, such as Lumion. The RTX 4000 is the first step in the RTX line of the professional-oriented Quadro series and is nothing to sneeze at when you want to start talking about real graphics performance. The RTX 2060 is the current-best budget option for DirectX-focused applications. GeForce RTX 2070 SUPERīefore the release of the GeForce RTX 3000 series, the RTX 2070 SUPER has been our bread and butter mid to high end 3D rendering card, offering a solid step up from the P2200 without requiring almost doubling the price to get to the RTX 2080 SUPER or the RTX 4000 GeForce RTX 2060 They are in very scarce supply at the time of this article and as such, prices are sky-high. This is one of the strongest GPUs that money can buy right now for DirectX-focused 3D applications. GeForce RTX 3080Ī serious heavy hitter from NVIDIA’s brand-spanking-new GeForce RTX 3000 series. We tested Lumion with several levels of GeForce cards as well as a few Quadro Cards. As a result, Lumion 10.5 has vastly more intensive hardware demands than simply using something like SketchUp alone.īuy your preconfigured SketchUp workstation at one of these links:

Lumion is often used in conjunction with SketchUp and other CAD software because it’s easy to import the geometry from something like a SketchUp model and render pretty pictures and movies with significantly enhanced visual effects. SketchUp and Lumion are like two peas in a pod, so we wanted to offer a full platter of information regarding the pair.

This is a follow-up article to our Best GPUs for SketchUp article.
