Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
Revit 2013
HP, 8GB RAM
Intel Xenon, CPU E31270, 3.40 GHz (I believe quad core)
My Revit model is just starting to push 55 MB today and for the first time my computer has started to get a little jerky when orbiting, panning, zooming, moving. Also I tried to do an interior rendering with sun and interior lights on with some amb. occlusion on and a little photo-exposure. Revit thought about it for 10 minutes and then told me the computers brain hurt(I was running out of memory and may experience slow reaction as a result) and I should jump off a cliff before it popped-up a black screen instead of my rendering.
So is upgrading from 8 to 16GB of RAM going to help me with? I have a feeling the big response will be "what's your graphics card?"
NVIDIA Quadro 2000- set to let 3d applications decide hardware-acceleration.
So My question is if I am going to hit-up my boss for a hardware upgrade where should I begin. I leveraged for more RAM, suspecting it will be the cheapest bang for his $130.00.
