A program like Lumion needs a great graphics card with at least 2gb of memory. Think of a pc or laptop a gamer would need and that’s what you need for this software. I’m going to link to Lumion support page that as all the specifications but my advice for a pc is if you have a technician you trust is go with all the specifications and talk with him the type of programs that you going to use. That’s what I did and more importantly, if you have a tight budget you can talk with him to come up with a solution that can be upgraded with the time.

That’s exactly what I did so I’m going to show the option my technician gave at the time (taking into consideration this was in 2016) I went with the middle option and soon I will upgrade it towards the third option3 or better.
