Please see our latest laptop PC recommendations at the bottom of this article.

Here are our general recommendations:

 

1. Graphics card recommendation for laptop PCs:

  1. High-end requirements: NVIDIA RTX 2080 (Mobile or MAX-Q version).
  2. Recommended requirements: NVIDIA RTX 2070 / 2070 SUPER (Mobile or MAX-Q version).
  3. Minimum requirements: NVIDIA RTX 2060 / 2060 SUPER (Mobile or MAX-Q version).

 

2. System memory recommendation for laptop PCs:

  1. High-end requirements: 64 GB.
  2. Recommended requirements: 32 GB.
  3. Minimum requirements: 16 GB.

 

3. Screen resolution recommendation for laptop PCs:

  • 1920x1080 pixels to ensure the best possible performance in Lumion.
  • Displays with a higher resolution will have a significant negative impact on the performance in Lumion.
  • If you are planning on using a 4K resolution screen (3840x2160) you will need a GTX 2080 graphics card (or better) for optimal performance. Alternatively, please consider setting the screen resolution to 1920x1080 while using Lumion - or selecting a lower Editor Resolution on the Settings screen in Lumion.

        

 

4. Laptop product recommendations:

The recommendations below have been updated in April 2020.

Please note that the requirements for Lumion 11 changed in October 2020. See 

This list will be updated to reflect that when we next do a review of hardware available in the marketplace.
