        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 512mb

            Ran it with SU7.1, then saved it as SU6 and ran it with v6.4

                  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!

                  Gai...

                    i didn't run this pre su7.1 but i'm willing to assume a huge difference since upgrading...
                    with an older quad mac..

                      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:
                        coaster model
                        test model

                              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. ๐Ÿ˜ž What do u think about that ? Could some mac users confirm these results ?

                                And 7.1pro version is really impressive. ๐Ÿ˜

                                  Strangely, I was getting 15-16 fps then I turned on shadows and it increased??
