What are your computer specs? Processor, memory, graphics, etc… relevant to running Sketchup and Layout.
I’m going to get a new computer to run Sketchup and Layout ideally without any lag and am wondering what you all have, and what you think of it.
Thanks!
What’s your budget?
Last year I built a PC especially for Sketchup and rendering, designed to be something that would last a long time (and upgradeable) but not cost a fortune up front. And it’s designed to run quiet and cool and efficiently.
It runs my (very, very) large and complex SketchUp & Layout files easily. I also use Twinmotion and other rendering software, which is why I specified a powerful graphics card…
NB I have unlimited budget and have previously owned a wide array of hardware from 20-core “dream machines” with dual GPUs… but that’s not the point… As has been discussed in other threads, upgrading things like a high-core CPU or 64GB RAM or a RTX3080TI will make absolutely no difference to SketchUp or LayOut.
CPU: AMD 5600X (6 core, 4.6ghz)
Gigabyte Aorus AX motherboard
16GB 3600mhz DDR4 RAM (upgradable)
500GB PCIE-4 M.2 solid state drive
Geforce RTX2080 Super
Corsair Hydro H.60v2 watercooler (basic type)
All in a nice, larger and cool Coolermaster SL600M case, with a 850w PSU
And a 32" 4k monitor.
