Thanks for all the feedback! We now have enough data to know how the MMO renderer will behave on user's systems.

Hmm.. what is this test really showing you?

You display a lot of untextured animated Models.
But in the final game, the client must display levelarchitecture
and multiple Models with a lot of different Textures,
plus other visual and logic calculations running at the same time...
What gives a high framerate in this setup, might as well
give you a low framerate in a full feature running client.

You should rather make a testapp with a lot of textured dummyobjects
plus terrain, plus dummycalculations running.
That will give more useful frameratedata.

When you do frame rate tests, you won't use a real level. You'll only use the specific objects of which you want to measure the frame rate. How the avatars look and what textures they have is irrelevant. We do not use instancing, thus all avatars and their textures can be different.

The purpose of the test was to check if our renderer surpasses the Granny 3D render, of which we already know the frame rates on a variety of systems. This was achieved and thus our client knows now that he can save the Granny license fee and can use our renderer for the MMO.

whats so special about this 'new renderer' and will it be released?
