      ...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 £600 Quadro FX3700. Probably better off with a game card.

                    Rest of the system

                    CPU i7 720
                    6G Ram

                        That IS the result with a Quadro card.

                            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... 😒

                              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:

                              That's a pretty serious hit.

                                        Using a Q6600 at 2.4GhZ, 4GB DDR2 RAM, and a GTX 295:

                                        Time test1.png

                                        I reckon I'm let down by my CPU clock. I get 2.5 FPS with shadows... and up to 15 FPS by making my SU window insanely small ^_^

                                          New machine:

                                          • 3.0 GHz Dual core CPU
                                          • nVidia 9600 (1Gb) GPU
                                          • 4Gb RAM
                                          • Windows XP SP3 (32 bit)

                                          This seems to be pretty fast with NO SHADOWS
                                          With SHADOWS ON, it's considerably slower.
                                          Did I tell you that I like this new computer? 😄
                                          And even my girlfriend likes it as it has a nice box/house, too (with a 22" Samsung monitor) 😉

                                            Hmmm. I didn't realise SU can take advantage of SLi setup. I read that it doesn't even scale linearly in most games. Apparently it does scale with SU. Otherwise GTX 280 from Solo's setup would have achieved higher score.
