Yes, the speed increase is impressive! One more hint: run the demo in window mode as well (alt + enter) and see what happens with the frame rate.

Another good test between A6 and A7 could be :
animated models (i don't know if A7 has implemented hardware skinning support for animations) at screen with particle system (caus static entities are
less CPU consuming indeed.

20 to 25 fps at 100x.xxx polygons
6.50.6
p4 3ghz
1024ram ddr1
ati9800 pro 128mb

but in that in the only thing to upgrade to a7 (speed increased)
I think not need to upgrade

I got same results with A7 and A6.506: 20 FPS
CoreDuo 512RAM Gforce 7900

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...

i think a certain expert may have a comment about that ;P

In window mode I got a steady 40

Hi all,

I got 15fps.

My laptop : Toshiba P100, Core Duo T2500 2GHz, 1GB Ram, GeForce7600 Go.

With A6 I have 4-FPS, with A7 5-FPS.

reducing the models to 420000 polys I have 9-FPS on A6 and 10-FPS on A7.

Not much gain that I have noticed.

Acer Laptop 2,4 GHz Pentium 4, 64MB Radeon 9000 Mobility, 512 MB Ram

13 fps in windowed, 12 in full screen.

AMD Athlon 3200+ 64 bit 2.01 GHz
1 Gig Ram
GForce 6600
