Can i run lumion 3d with an intel m480 video card?

[tonygallardo1881]

Im having problems with lumion 3d, i open it, choose one of the available sceneries, and then it just shuts down all of a sudden, im wondering if maybe the intel m480 video card is not enough for the program, can somebody help me please.

Maybe processor i5 M480 ?
Or the GTX480M ?
Questions, questions . . .

I can´t belive lumion installed at all in that system.You are WAY under the requirements

Lumion 3d REQUIERES a minimun of 8800GTX (the version with one meg of ram) or better.

On that program to be realistic your need a fire GL (Fire GL v3600 does not work for the little ram)

Yeah unfortunately you are right, i installed the program succesfuly, but it shuts down before i can even use it, thanks for the answer, do you know if i can upgrade the computer for the program to run? do i buy another card online and install it or do you think i would have to replace the computer alltogether? and if so what would you recommend?

I would need to know the model of your MoBo or system if is branded.

Also your objectives (student, Pro, entusiast, etc) because certified gear are a sinkhole for cash.

I am studying architecture, so i need a lot of 3d and rendering programs, revit, autocad, 3dmax, lumion, piranesi, sketchup, art lantis. The model is a dell inspiron i5 and intel hd graphics card, 4gb ram, 640 gigabtyes of space. ive researched a bit and it says i need a dedicated 1 gb(minimum) graphic card, can i buy one online? Thank you for your time.
