I thought A6.5 had the new ABT renderer just like A7? in which case only comparisons with A6.4 and lower would be valid.
@Dusty BFG Geforce 7800 GS OC is the fastest AGP card you can get. Friend has had one for a few months and it runs great so I would highly reccomend it.

A6.31 is over 2 years old.. Version 6.5 was released almost 4 months ago, and has pretty much the same rendering speed as your compiled A7 demo (atleast on my system).
Get with the times man!
Nevertheless, the performance increase from 6.4 -> 6.5 is awesome. Makes you wonder what must have been 'wrong' in the 6.4 rendering kernel though..
It's cruel, if I use 6.4 everything works fine except I don't get the 30% speed boost 6.5 gets, and if I use 6.5 I get the speed boost and models are rendered faster but then I run into the level_load issues JCL advised will be available in the next update! LIFE IS SO CRUEL!!
