Is the Intel Iris xe graphics card good for doing 3D orbiting and renderings on revit?

You can check for what hardware has been certified for use with an Autodesk product here. Clicking on the Revit link, a message states that 2023.1 is different. It seems that a card is ok if it supports the proper version of DirectX.

I was looking for the Intel Iris XE graphics card and it is not on the list. When looking for the system requirements, all I find is:
Advanced Graphics:
DirectX® 11 capable graphics card with Shader Model 5 and a minimum of 4GB of video memory
The Intel Iris xe works with DirectX 12 for what I know... But will it be sufficient?

It appears that they are not testing individual cards any more. They are stating that the card just need to meet the system requirements. Follow the links to find the requirements for the version of Revit you are using. This link lists the requirements for advanced/large models. It states the video requirements as "DirectX 11 capable graphics card with Shader Model 5 and a minimum of 4GB of video memory". If your card has specs higher than that, I would say you're good to go. I would assume that DX12 is better than 11. With your card, the critical spec would be the amount of ram. 4 GB is minimum for large models. So you could do better than 4 if you felt the need.
