Viewport performance

[eidam655]

hello,

is there any benchmark scene for sketchup's viewport speed? i've read somewhere that some benchmark can be done with some Ruby scripting and an animation playback, but unfortunately i lost track of the article, so i'm asking here, whether someone doesn't have something similar.

also, the most prominent aspect of viewport's speed is graphics card's OpenGL rendering speed, right? or does the cpu speed / ram amount have major impact on the performance?

thanks for any answer.

The scene is no longer useful in v8.

Your GPU handles textures and styles while 1 core of your CPU handles geometry. So you want a good reliable GPU and a CPU with a high clock speed.
