CPU & GPU: A balanced machine
Revit is all CPU-based. But if you add an external renderer, such as Enscape or V-Ray, you'll need a balanced machine.
Enough system memory
Make sure you have enough system memory to manipulate your models. For example, Revit recommends 2.5x (CK) times your model size.
Remote collaboration
Powerful tools such as HP ZCentral Remote Boost,16 Teradici, and NVIDIA Omniverse™ make it much easier to collaborate and see the combined results of your efforts in real-time.

Graphics
Depending on which renderer you're using, you'll either render on the CPU or the GPU. Increasingly, renderers are GPU-accelerated, so a balanced machine is again your best bet.
Real-time rendering & ray-tracing
With the rise in real-time rendering — whether for ray-tracing or for immersive interactivity — look for an NVIDIA RTX™ GPU to benefit from the RT (ray-tracing) cores.

First order of business: Print width
How wide do you need to print? Consider your options ranging from 24" to a whopping 64". If the answer is "as wide as possible" your second thought should be your printer footprint. How much space is available in your office or studio for a printer?
Which features matter to you in a printer/plotter?
Your checklist might include: a printed page stacker, take-up reel, paper loading method, whether it can take one or two rolls of paper, is capable of a 3" core, connectivity, software and security features, scanning capabilities, table/stand and office design, cut sheet tray, and how eco-friendly is it.
Speed where it counts
When you experience tight or sudden deadlines, you'll want to understand your printer's efficiencies. How quickly does it process a complex job and free up your workstation? How long until the first page out, or to print an Arch D, and how much can be printed in an hour?
Looking for Your Perfect Workstation?
Search for workstation laptops and desktops, and the monitors and accessories to complete your set up.
