      I hate to say it.. but I will.
      I seem to be "smoking" all you fellers.
      Here's my score.

      BTW - I am running Vista Ultimate with 4 Gigs Ram and 2x (PCIE SLI) Nvidea 8800GT's

      "EDIT" .. I guess I haven't "smoked" everyone. I didn't notice there are 6 pages to this Thread ..... DOH !

              tried. does not work, get an argument error.
              looks like the file / code will need to tweak.

                    How come my old dusty machine is performing rather well? / what am I doing "wrong"?
                    (PC=5.5 years of age, almost retired)

                    Micromaxx/Medion
                    AMD Athlon 64/3000+
                    Clockspeed 2.00GHz 1.5GB
                    NVIDIA GeForce FX5700

                    With SU8 pro (didn't test SU7) and testing the original file:

                    1. nothing changed (hidden geometry and shadows off) => around ~62.7 frames/second
                      (shadows on didn't seem to matter that much, same results => ~62.5 frames/second)
                      2)edges+profiles on, hidden geometry (and shadows) displayed => ~35.8 frames/second

                    ~ indicates that I did run the code line multiple times.
                    After changes to settings like 'hidden geometry' only the first run drops down frame rate.
                    After that a constant higher rate as stated above.

                        So much for all the hype about new machines. Are you running on a AGP_ bus also? Try toggling the transparency select on the face styles and see if it makes much difference. It did for me
                        fussion
                        It appears you are running too slow for these test conditions. Do you have problems with model display?? Suggest you run the GLview 322.exe and see what type of OpenGL you really have. Also toggle the transparency on the face styles and see if that makes any difference for you. My testing showed the extents of the model play a roll. Make sure to hit zoom extents before running test

                              Wow, some unusual results here. I've had some discrepancy between Sketchup v.8.0.4811 and Sketchup v.7.1.6860

                              Under v.7.1.6860 I got:
                              Sketchup 7.1.6860 test result
                              But under v.8.0.4811 I got:
                              Sketchup 8.0.4811 test result
                              After some troubleshooting, I found that disabling "Enable Transparency" in the Styles window gave this result in v.8.0.4811:
                              Sketchup 8.0.4811 (No Transparency) test result
                              Its unusual, I disabled "Enable Transparency" under 7.1.6860 and there was no noticable difference in the animations performance, but this is different for 8.0.4811. I'm not sure what is going on here but for consistency in results I think the style in the file should be updated to disable the transparency.

                              Here's my stats:
                              Mac Pro (1,1) with a modified 8 core x5355 @ 2.66 GHz (2 processors)
                              16gb DDR2 ECC ram
                              Ati Radeon HD 5770 (apple version)
                              SATA II
                              Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

                                        New puter. I think the graphics card is letting me down cos results are similiar to older machines.

                                          well baz that perplexed me. becuase if I'm not mistaken the GeForce 210 is a rather low end card right? like $50.00? and your score is smoking mine. so I figuired it had to be the I7 2600... but I'm running the I52500k unlocked at like 4.8ghz... although you seem to have 8 cores... you'll have to inform me on how that is? but anyway. I went into the nvidia control panel under 3D settings and turned everything up on the global settings...

                                          Capture5.JPG

                                          this improved my score by 100%

                                          Capture4.JPG

                                          I would be interested to know if the rest of you have these settings turned on... if my assumption is correct, the FPS in SketchUp comes more from the CPU than the video card.

                                          Baz, do you have hardware acceleration on?

                                            Hi Kris, yes h/ware acceleration is on. Also I never touch the card properties, I choose 'let the application decide'. I have no idea why it's showing 8 cores. And yes the card is budget.
