((( OpenGL Speed TEST in modo )))

[Rigley]

I have a GeForce FX 5600 (softquadro) (driver: 44.03)
I have an Athlon 2500+ @ ~2280 MHz
I have 512 RAM

My "SCORE" is : 39

[Fanzi]

I have a GeForceFX5900 and a QuadroFX700
testing...

[Rigley]

A modifed viewport layout gives me higher FPS (~46)

[Para]

ATi Radeon 9600 Pro using Catalyst 4.9 drivers gives me about 14-15fps with the default layout, 17-18 with the modified viewport. Other important specs of my computer are: Athlon64 3400+, 1Gb of 400MHz DDR-RAM.

[Rigley]

Thanks Para for the participation !
You have a good config, i think you should have a higher FPS... but let's wait for the other results. :)

[Para]

No I shouldn't, the 9600 series isn't very good at all in OpenGL. D3D is where that budget card really shines :)

Powell currently you're the leader :thumbsup:
I am curious about how do the Quadros perform...

[Powell]

Ill test it on a Quadro FX 1100 tomorrow...

[Rigley]

I just love how modo's GL performance is much better than Lightwave's.
In modo i get around 46 FPS - as I stated above, in LW8 modeler (with same settings) i get 19 FPS :rolleyes:

edit: I forgot that i only had the first layer active. With eyes: modo: 41 LW: 17

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, +- keys dont do anything, neither does alt-right click, I'm using maya navigation so I just hit the "/ " for a viewport navigation.

MunCHeR:

Make sure you have "vertical synchronization" turned OFF in your Display Properties / OpenGL Settings

30 FPS

Edit: 39 with vsync off :)

Rigley: May I ask where you got the softquadro patch? I would like to try this out. :)

Cheers.

[Rigley]

Sure ! :)

It's not too easy... but go to THIS FORUM (http://forums.guru3d.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=18), and read the posts.
I think this is a GOOD THREAD (http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95150)
Good Luck ! :thumbsup:

[Phil Lawson]

Many thanks man! Off to try...hehehe

[MunCHeR]

Thanks for the tip Rigley, much better results with vert sync off:

You're Welcome
That sounds much better !

[perkele]

hi,

41fps here with vertsync off.
Drivers 61.77 (last one)

P4 2.5
Geforce 4600 Ti
1G RAM

Guys, how do you "modified viewport" ??

[Powell]

With V-Sync and AA off, i got a 61.

thnx for the tip! :thumbsup:

[eXec]

17 fps :p

works for me :thumbsup:

The OpenGL speed seems faster than LW, but how about the transformations? I'm curious about the performance between lw's modeler and modo when you move/scale/rotate an freezed polygonal object. I did a little test between lw's modeler, C4D and houdini (unfortunatly, there is currently no modo demo), and lw's modeler is a lot faster than houdini, and very close to C4D... is modo faster or slower than lw on this kind of transformations? How about the dragnet and magnet on freezed objects?
Since there is no demo, it is important for me to know if modo have the same speed on theses every days transformations...

Thanks

[Phil Lawson]

For me, moving a 14,000 poly, football mesh was alot more responsive in modo than in modeler.

Cheers.

Thanks for the V-sync Tip Rigley. Doubled my performance test at level 1!! Great thread idea!!

Score of 45 using:

GF 5600Ultra
P4 2.6G
1Gig 3200 DDR Ram
Nvidia Drivers 61.81
WinXP SP1


MODO With V-Sync OFF
SubD level 1 = 148 fps
SubD level 2 = 45 fps
SubD level 3 = 21 fps

MODO With V-Sync ON
SubD level 1 = 72
SubD level 2 = 36
SubD level 3 = 18

Modeler With V-Sync OFF
Patch level 1 = 65
Patch level 2 = 39
Patch level 3 = 25

Akryls:

I have tried some deformations on a freezed hippo :) (~80.000 polys) and while the viewport manipulation was fast as a lightning, the deformations were pretty laggy. But this is probably hardware specific, i don't have a high-end config. I've tried dragnet, magnet, twist... etc. If you compare it to LW... well... about the same, but some things are slower -> ON MY MACHINE

Edit: Your driver is not the latest, try the 66.81 from www.guru3d.com its really good !!!

hi

Hehe, this is totally off-topic but I must mention this since I'm a Finn..."perkele" is Finnish and means something between the lines of "God damn it!" and is the most commonly used mild swearword in Finnish :p

[Rigley]

:D lol :D

[silent_dan]

my specs:

pentium 4 with hyperthread technology
512 mb ddram
ati 9200 with laest omega drivers


results: 24fps

[bored alien]

Cool thread. :thumbsup: Anyone who has both want to also do a comparison with other apps such as xsi, silo, lw, wings, etc. on the same geometry?

[eve1518]

Modo:31 LW:20
Athlon 2500+xp Oc 3200+xp
Pc3200 DDR400 512m
Nvidia Geforce Mx440 AGP 4x (43.51)
System Y2k pro

so i think Mode's OpenGL is better than Lw

I'd like to explain what v-sync is so people are not confused that it does something that would improve performance.


V-sync, known as Vertical Sync, is the time the monitor tracing ray, going vertical, will make a full pass of the screen.

Vsync should only be disabled when benchmarking so that the videocard and processor are not being limited by the display. Frame rates will appear higher with vsync off but the amount of information displayed is limited by your monitor in that instance. A monitor with an 85 Hz refresh rate will only display 85 frames per second even if the videocard is rendering 400 frames a second. The visual quality may decline as a result also because some frames could be skipped as a result of excess rendering so the interpolation between the first frame and the next frame displayed could be off resulting in 'tearing' or jerkiness.

Some usless knowledge, to which I add another usless tidbit... Coders from the 80's and early 90's used vsync to make things go smoother, faking the appearance of speed, by measuring/timing the refresh of their code with the monitors rate.

VGA BIOS interrupt 0x10 on x86 procs for all the nerds:

void set_mode_13h()
{
__dpmi_regs r;
r.x.ax = 0x13;
__dpmi_int(0x10, &r);
}

[Powell]

thnx for that expination Amorano. :thumbsup: ..makes sence.
