    Default Is a graphics card need for Revit when the CPU is an intel i7 ?

    Is a graphics card needed for Revit when the CPU is an intel i7 ?

    I am building a computer from components for the purpose of using revit architecture.

    I think intel i7 have its own in build graphics. I am not sure if I need to buy a separate graphics card as well.

    Thank you very much for your time and help.

    Faithfully,

    Nicholas

    Usually a good idea to have a dedicated video card for anything more than basic office software.

    There is a specific hardware forum for Revit hardware - lots of experienced folks there who can weight in with specific cards.

    Intel graphics chips are not reknowned for being good for anything but word processing - though it's a new design in the i-series processors which may or may not be much better than their previous efforts.
    I deliberately chose to build with an i5 without in-built graphics.
