Graphics hardware that meet the System Requirements for Revit Products are supported.
Note: Starting with Revit 2023.1, the certification status has been replaced by a direct report if the DirectX version, the Shader Model version, and the GPU memory available on the system meet the hardware acceleration requirements.
For earlier Revit versions see: Certified graphics hardware.
If you are experiencing an issue that still occurs with Hardware Acceleration disabled, please search our Knowledge Base or contact customer support to report a software problem.
In Autodesk Revit, click File tab > Options, and make sure the check box for Use Hardware Acceleration (Direct3D) is selected.
Yes, if your graphics hardware can support some of the 3D display features in Revit, you can turn on hardware acceleration. Graphics hardware supporting Shader Model version 3.1 is the minimum requirement to enable the hardware acceleration option.
To turn on hardware acceleration in Revit, click File tab > Options and select the Use Hardware Acceleration (Direct3D) check box.

All graphics warning messages are located in the Revit Options dialog. To check whether your graphics hardware may cause display issues in Revit, click File tab > Options, and open the following tab:
Certified
This status will appear when your video card and driver version has passed certification testing and the result has been added to the AdskHardwareCertificationReport.xml file.
Incompatible
This status will appear when the video card and/or driver is known to cause graphics problems or loss of functionality in Revit.
Untested
This status displays when Autodesk has no information confirming tests were performed with this video card and driver combination using this version of Revit. The card may or may not have issues. You can check the Supported Hardware page for more information on testing in past releases and testing results with other driver versions.
If you experience display performance problems or visual issues, please try installing a current driver, upgrade to card that was tested for use with Revit, or turn off Hardware Acceleration.
