hi to all,I have the opportunity to buy gtx 560ti or gtx 570
Its better to have 2(two) sli GeForce GTX 560Ti or 1(one)GeForce GTX 570 to perform Lumion
waiting for a professional response

Hi ab_lumion, you will benefit only marginally from having 2 GPUs for Lumion, so my advice is to get the most powerful single-GPU card with the most RAM that you can afford.

cause of the limited budget

I have a GTX 570 and it works very well with Lumion. I regularly work on Sketchup models over 80 Mb in size. My Lumion projects often contain hundreds of plants, lights etc. No problems.

Very good value for money. Check out this link:

Hi all.
I have NVidia GeForce GTX 260
(this video card is not top of the line but works amazing)
Intel Core i7 980X
24mb RAM

Lumion works very smoth in this configuration...
 

Intel Core i7-2700K @ 3.50GHz      
GeForce GTX 570   
16 gb ram
Is this good for Autocad & 3Dmax & Sketchup and Lumion? or.......>?

The new generation of processor, named "Ivy Bridge," is the first to be made with a 3-D structure, which allows the chips to process information faster.
So wait a couple days and get an Ivy Bridge Processor 

cpu - amd bulldozer fx 8120 8 core
gpu - zotac gtx 580 3gb
ram - 16 gb
win7 x 64
no problems yet with lumion. and my current sketchup model is over 1 gig( divided into seperate files about 100 to 200 mb each otherwise sketchup dies). it slows lumion down a bit but it runs .
