Hello One and All Lumion-aries- I need Help buying a Pc. I have never bought a Pc having used and owned a Mac for many years. Lumion is PC based and Graphics card lead. Updating my Macs to run Lumion is way above what I can afford. My Mac graphics cards and windows7 are letting me down. I don't have unlimited funds as this is going to be a joint venture with my set designer I work for, what we buy will be dedicated to Lumion and sketchup. I will have to look at the secondhand market preferably with a screen too. Ebay tells me that I could get something for around £600 £700 - graphics card benchmark 1300+.
When I'm looking, should i look for i7 and a high benchmark ? what would be a suitable benchmark for my pounds? are these that the best things to look at for lumion?
Any help on this would be gratefully received
cheers
Chris
