I made more or less the same test with BV with more or less 1100000 polys and the fps was 11fps. So, I guess A7 will be able to handle more things than BV. Hummm...
You are thinking back to gamestudio sorcerer?

I never left. I had a money problem... Well, I am still having it. I am on a bad time of my life now, on the money part.
And I always said that my plan is to buy A7 again as soon as I make some money. I still love BV, but I also have the same feeling for gamestudio. And I can do things with one and with the other.

Sorcerer : I also own some other 3D engines like TV3D, BV engine , Blitz3D , but like you i think once you've tried 3DGS and seen how easy, fast is to use (even with it's problems , lacking features ...) you can't let it down

I can imagine some reasons for this behaviour:
1) old systems with weaker CPU and decent GPU render with A6 mainly on CPU. A7 increases rendering speed through better use of GPU on such systems. CPU has more free resources now
2) modern systems with very good cpu will probably render fast on both systems. So you don't see much of a difference

its really strange that some get a speed increas while some dont. how can that be?
I think this is because many people are still running the old version of gamestudio. The new one (6.5) was only announced as public beta on the forum, not as an official release (although the news page does mention it, most people only check the forums).. The new version is remarkably faster than the old one, but A7 is (on my systems, both old and new) not much faster than 6.5.
Franks explanation could also be (part of) the reason. Although rendering never happens on the CPU, culling does.

In A7, there is less work for the CPU (no BSP-tree culling, optimizations), thus removing the bottleneck or moving it to the GPU.
