If someone had a scene with hundreds of hidden objects (and only a handful displayed at a time) - will that hog speed (frames per second)? Do numberous hidden objects hurt your speed?

Why not test o_O

After a quick test, yes they do.

After running this code, I got around 470+ FPS on my

AMD Athlon 2600+
2.08 GHz
GeForce 4 MX
512 MB Ram



After un-remming some commands, I got about 50 fps....I dont think this has to do with display, I think it has to do with how much video memory you have, as keeping 5000 spheres in mind to be recalled at any second is quite a bit

Yeah, I barfed out this code last night (see tab). It follows the logic of a game a friend and I are pondering to build. It is the problem we are trying to solve where the level consists of thousands of polygons, but only a handful will be shown at any given time.

Would you mind telling me the framerate you get? I ran this in the demo of DBPro. In Classic it only ran about ten frames slower. And hey, it requires no media.

I desperately need a new graphics card. I got around 50 fps on my 2.6 Gigahertz Gateway running XP.
