It boils down video card’s ability to render visuals to a single number which is called PassMark G3D Mark. Graphics card performance can be measured in various tests designed to benchmark the overall performance of any particular GPU. Also, laptops with desktop processors are likely to experience performance throttling due to limited cooling in a laptop chassis. There are a few laptops that come with desktop processors such as i7-7700K but then you can forget about the battery life. Laptop processors fall behind desktop counterparts and only the best mobile CPUs are suitable for Lumion. Processor is most likely to be the bottleneck in a laptop for Lumion. Here are requirements for Lumion 8.5 (as of 2018 September). With recent improvements with Nvidia’s 10th generation graphics, I can finally recommend some laptops for Lumion. Of course, even the best laptops can’t match top shelf desktop hardware but it can get surprisingly close. A few years ago there hardly was any hardware capable of running Lumion at a desktop level. When it comes to hardware requirements, Lumion is one of the few suites of software that will demand the very best.
