Lumion Hardware Recommendations
| Component | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| CPU | High‑clock, single‑threaded mainstream chips – e.g., Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen 9000 series. |
| GPU | The biggest performance driver. • 16 GB VRAM minimum (e.g., NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16 GB). • 32 GB for very large scenes (GeForce RTX 5090 32 GB). • For extreme projects, consider NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell with 96 GB. |
| RAM | 32 GB is adequate for most projects; 64 GB recommended for very complex models or multitasking. |
| Storage | Fast SSD (NVMe preferred) – 1 TB minimum for OS, software, and active files. Use additional SSDs or HDDs/NAS for bulk data and backups. |
Key points:
- Lumion is single‑threaded; CPU clock speed matters most.
- GPU is the primary performance factor; a single card suffices (multiple GPUs not used).
- VRAM of 16 GB+ is advised, with 32 GB for high‑end usage.
- RAM should match project complexity; double if running many other apps.
- NVMe SSDs give the best workflow speed; separate drives help organize projects and backups.
