Let's have a Hardware speed test for SU
-
(CPU OC to 3.2GHZ)
-
Windows XP sp3
Pentium D965 3.4ghz
3.00gb RAM ddr2 400mhzWithout shadows
-
Still the same machine as here but with SU 7.1 now:
- 3.0 GHz Dual core CPU
- nVidia 9600 (1Gb) GPU
- 4Gb RAM
- Windows XP SP3 (32 bit)
To me, the improvement in speed (with this test model) is very stunning:
Interesting that no matter how many times I tried, the performance was better with shadows on.
(Of course while making the test with shadows on now, SU temporarily turns them off for increasing orbiting and such but still...) -
I had such result, without shadows and with shadows...

Using a Q6600 at 2.4GhZ, 4GB DDR2 RAM, and a GTX 295:
Now, on SU7.1, using the same setup (At a higher resolution):
That's a massive difference!
The message? Get 7.1. NOW. -

Interesting test results:
XP sp3, duo 2.8, 4gb ram, 8500gt 512mbRan it with SU7.1, then saved it as SU6 and ran it with v6.4

hmmmm...I can't upload multiple images?
ok, got it, sorry.

I got 21.1 fps with shadows off.
Computer specs are in my signature below

Glenn,
Now that's some impressive speed increase (of course, there areno textures in the model and such but still)
Brodie;
OK-ok... there are your computer specs but we don't know (just suspect maybe) what SU version you have! -
i didn't run this pre su7.1 but i'm willing to assume a huge difference since upgrading...
with an older quad mac..
with shadow ON:
shadows OFF:
-
Does SU run better on Macs? Or is it your RAM? Because... 150 fps... ? Wow...
-
Here's something odd.....I tried the test on 2 models, one the test model and the other one my roller coaster model. Here's the result.....quite suprising:
The picture below shows my computer stats......
It's a laptop by the way -
How about the video card and OpenGL hardware support ("acceleration" in Preferences > OpenGL)?
-
I got new Notebook so here's the results

i'm not sure because i've never used windows for comparison.. there was an export test around here a while ago in which the macs were able to export jpgs at more than twice the size as windows but other than that, i haven't seen anything alluding to SU being better with OS X..
in fact, there are often things i see that work on PCs that i can't do. -
MY CONFIG : macbook pro - mid 2009 unibody 15" 4GbRam 512Mo 9600MGT HD500gb 5400rpm - snow leopard 10.6.1
I ve run the cube test with each graphic configuration on the same machine running sketchup pro 7.0, and results are quite surprising :9400M : 5.336s - 27.4665s (shadows on) -- with SU7.1= 1.228 - 1.229(shadows on)
9600M GT : 5.327s - 27,669s (shadows on) --with SU7.1= 1.324 - 1.225(shadows on)I've run the same test with my architecture diploma file (40000m2 hotel+parking+many cars+trees and textures = 4mb files)
9400M : 6.572s - 99.579s (shadows on) --with SU7.1= 4.774 - 5.074(shadows on)
9600M GT : 6.601s - 101.156s (shadows on) --with SU7.1= 5.034 -5.225(shadows on)That confirms my impression, I can't notice any difference between running sketchup with 9400 and with 9600.
What do u think about that ? Could some mac users confirm these results ?And 7.1pro version is really impressive.

Here are results form Macbook Pro 13"
Strangely, I was getting 15-16 fps then I turned on shadows and it increased??
-
My results, first test with no shadows
This one with shadows on
- core i7-860, 2.8GHz
- 8 GB memory
- Nvidia QuadroFX 1800 graphics card with 768 Mb memory
- 1080 x 1920 screen, SU maximized
- Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
-
sweet...
and the GPU is an NVidia Quadro FX 770M... is that any good?
oh and with shadows off, the time was 1.141. Average frame=0.016 sec., 63.1 fr/s
