      Remember, you can have a 64 core machine and SU will only use the first one...

      Good point, I keep forgetting that SU will not take advantage of multiple cores. Must be the only program on my computer that will not.. ๐Ÿ˜’

        Turned "shadows" on , I got it
        1.PNG

        I have a problem.

        solo (i7 940, 12GB ram, gtx 280) he got 16.6 F/s
        Gaieus ( 2Gb RAM and 6800 GO video card.) he got 12.6 F/s

        Gaieus's performance is quite less than solo's , but Gaieus's mark is close to solo's. Why ?

          I believe the answer lies in the fact that Gaieus has a single core clocked at 3.8Ghz verses a single core on mine at 2.93Ghz giving him superior performance on CPU usage but his let down is the weaker integrated GPU (video card). Had Gaieus had a new 1GB card he would kill my score, or if I was to overclock my CPU's to say 4.2Ghz my score would skyrocket.

              Well, it's unlikely that I'm going to upgrade this old lappy (quite good one for a laptop however!) but true,some more power on the video card end would probably help.

              Although a single core, my processor is capable of hyperthreading - AFAIK an experimental technology that started along with multi cores and seem to "come back" with i7's and such (like Pete's) - so I'm quite satisfied with it as it has a good clock speed (not overclocked though) for SU but when it comes to rendering for instance, it's doing it on two (virtual) cores.

              Certainly when doing such tests with heavy materials and shadows on, the drawbacks of the relatively weak video card are apparent.

                phoa..my computer is very slow.. i think my problem is memory i have only 1 gb(graphic card 1gb nvidia 8600gt,processor pentium dual core 2.8 ghz)

                here is the test with shadow on..and with shadow off it was about 8.7 sec

                  it seams that sketchup depends on cpu clock more than videocard performance and multicore cpu

                    here we go - Windows XP 32bit SR3 - I'll boot into Windows 7 64 later and post a test from there.

                        I'm at home today on my old G4 Mac Laptop.
                        Yikes ...I'd test with shadows on, but I can't afford to take a couple of hours off.
                        Have to try on my work machines tomorrow.

                            14.0 frames/sec

                            Which is annoying since i bought a ยฃ600 Quadro FX3700. Probably better off with a game card.

                            Rest of the system

                            CPU i7 720
                            6G Ram

                              maybe Quadro or FireGl can get hight score

                                That IS the result with a Quadro card.

                                  My MacBook Pro has exactly the same spec as troyhome.

                                    I think the best test would be to test something like this (with shadows and heavy textures and everything that taxes the GPU much) with different graphics cards but on the same system.

                                    Something that we won't obviously do... ๐Ÿ˜’

                                      Wow. I got 21 FPS in a previous post without turning shadows on, I figured I'd give it a shot with shadows to see what happens. SU shadows are nasty, apparently:

                                      w_shad.jpg

                                      That's a pretty serious hit.

                                            It's way back at post #8 on page 1, but here ya go:
