# Which graphics card do you need for Lumion 12?
Looking for information on hardware for use with the most recent release of Lumion?
See these articles:
- **Lumion website:** [Lumion System Requirements](https://lumion.com/requirements.html)
- **Knowledge Base:** [Which graphics card do you need for Lumion 2024/2025?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/12614095715868.json?hsLang=en-us)
- **Knowledge Base:** [What kind of computer does Lumion 2024/2025 need?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/12614080933660.json?hsLang=en-us)
**Note:** the hardware requirements have not significantly changed from Lumion 12 to the latest 2025 version.
**Important:**
Please see this article on the drivers for the NVIDIA RTX 5000 series graphics cards and Lumion 12 (or earlier):
- **Knowledge Base:** [\[RESOLVED\] Known Issue: Lumion 12 or earlier: NVIDIA Drivers Cause Issues: Driver 572.60 Released 25 Feb 2025 and newer (until further notice)](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/18950750736412.json?hsLang=en-us)
## **1. Lumion needs a dedicated graphics card with as many *PassMark* points as possible**
** **
**1.1: [Click here](http://www.wikihow.com/Find-Out-What-Graphics-Card-You-Have)** to find out which dedicated graphics card your PC has got. Integrated only graphics (such as Intel HD graphics chips) are not supported.
**1.2:** [**Click here**](https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html) to see how many *PassMark* points your graphics card has got. You can also [click here](https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php) to use the *PassMark* search.
**1.3:** Compare your *PassMark* score to the scores in **Section 2. Graphics card requirements** to see what sort of Lumion *Projects* you can expect to work on.
**1.4:** Fast graphics cards should ideally be paired with a fast CPU (Processor). [**Click here**](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360003476793.json?hsLang=en-us) for more information.
**1.5: [Click here](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360003476773.json?hsLang=en-us)** to check if your power supply is suitable for your graphics card.
## **2. Graphics card requirements**
**Performance:**
The following guidelines describe which graphics card and **minimum** [PassMark points](https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html) you will need based on the complexity of the *Projects* you expect to work on.
**Graphics card memory**:
The more graphics card memory is available the more details, textures, and models can be loaded, processed, and rendered by your graphics card.
You should try and aim for the best in performance along with maximizing memory.
These refer to desktop graphics cards. Similar model graphics cards for laptops have a much lower level of performance.

\* Some but not all of the AMD 6000 series cards may have a driver issue with certain objects in Lumion and result in problems until the drivers are updated (as of 26 August 2021).
### **Compare Your Projects to work out how complex they are and the hardware needed:**
- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you Determine the 'Complexity' of your Projects](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/4407335206418.json?hsLang=en-us)
### **How much Memory?**
More graphics memory allows you to create and work on *Projects* of more complexity, and include more textures with higher resolution. It will also help with the overall performance of the *Project*.
- **Knowledge Base:** [What kind of computer does Lumion 12 need?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360003476793.json?hsLang=en-us)
### **What is Important?**
Graphics card performance is the key criteria then the amount of memory.
## **3. What is the difference between gaming-based graphics cards and professional/workstation graphics cards for Lumion?**
- NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon cards can render gaming-based 3D graphics very fast.
Examples include: NVIDIA RTX 3070 8GB, NVIDIA RTX 3080 10GB, NVIDIA RTX 3090 24GB, AMD Radeon 5700 XT 8GB, AMD Radeon 6700 XT 12GB, AMD Radeon 6900 XT 16GB.
- NVIDIA Quadro, NVIDIA RTX A series, and AMD Radeon Pro cards, often referred to as professional or workstation cards, may sometimes have more memory and can calculate and render lines and fills very fast in CAD software. They also often include certified drivers for specific CAD software but could be more expensive.
Examples include: NVIDIA RTX A5000 24GB, NVIDIA RTX A6000 48 GB, NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 24GB, AMD Radeon Pro W6800 32 GB.
Many of our customers use consumer (game-based) graphics cards when working in both Lumion and in their CAD software. Although there are slight differences between consumer and pro/workstation graphics cards, the consumer cards work fine in CAD software.
If you need to choose between a more expensive pro/workstation card and a less expensive consumer card with the same *PassMark* points, then the consumer graphics card is usually a good choice.
For every purchasing decision, always consult with a hardware professional for your computers' specific requirements.
## **4. Multiple graphics cards (SLI/Crossfire), NVLink and graphics cards with more than 1 GPU**
**4.1:** Multiple graphics cards (in NVIDIA SLI, NVIDIA NVLink, or AMD Crossfire configuration) will not boost the performance or render speed in *Lumion*. *Lumion* will only use the graphics card that is connected to the monitor that the Lumion window starts on.
**4.2:** Some of our users make use of two graphics cards connected to two different monitors. That way, you can use Lumion on one monitor/graphics card while the other monitor/graphics card is used for other software. This arrangement tends to have a negligible impact on performance.
Note that if other software is running which demands a lot from the computers' CPU, then this may result in extended render times as the computers' max performance will be split between many programs.
**4.3:** Note that NVIDIA have discontinued support for the SLI bridge. NVLink is available but is currently limited only for the GeForce RTX 3090, RTX A6000, and RTX A5000 and newer. It is not compatible with the bridges from the 20-Series and Quadro RTX cards.
## **5. External Graphics Card Units (eGPU)**
Please see this article:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Can you use an External Graphics Card Unit (eGPU) with Lumion?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/5566023760540.json?hsLang=en-us)
## **6. Docking stations**
Docking stations (for example the *Dell D6000*) are not officially supported and we cannot guarantee that *Lumion* will work as expected.
## **7. Graphics cards for Dell & HP workstations**
Please see Section 4 in this article regarding some power supplies in Dell and HP computers:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Which power supply do you need?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360003476773.json?hsLang=en-us)
## **8. AMD NAVI graphics cards need the latest driver**
If you have an AMD Navi graphics card, you should use the very latest AMD driver (from 1st of April 2020 or newer).
