On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I will be joined by Anthony Remis (of Remis Computer Solutions) to talk about how to build a computer for architects. We will break down the most recent and relevant information on what processors, graphics cards, RAM, hard drives, and more will be best suited for handling all of our CRAZY demands as architects and engineers. From Autodesk Revit to Twinmotion to Navisworks, we require an array of different specs to complete our projects… Anthony will help us prioritize our specs for both laptops and desktops to helps us build the ultimate PC for what we do…
I’ve spent most of my teenage years building gaming computers in my basement to get the most FPS out of Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Counter-Strike so I am super excited to geek out on this topic…
So sit back, relax, and let’s geek out!
