like this picture there are same monster medel..

make them to object class and use dbcloneObject?.

for sure i think it can't use dbInstanceObject..because all monster will do same action..

but using dbCloneObject .. it load new model to memories so ..i think it will slow down if call many monster..

so how they do if wanna call many monsters and save resource
so game look faster...

I'm pretty sure the GDK handles this automatically. It should use the resources for models efficiently all by itself.

There are more than just graphics that will slow down a game.

Maybe the supporting code for each monster is just too slow and as you run through the code multiple times (once for each monster) then this code is slowing things down.

Without people here being able to see your relevant code fragments, they will not be able to advise you.

1.9hz? How does that thing even run?

Lol.

I'm on a 2.53ghz processor right now, with an ATI Radeon 9550. Yeah, ATI isn't good with DirectX. Oh well.

2.53 Ghz what? I'm on a C2D 1.6 Ghz, and I can run Crysis on Medium.

1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo is plenty of horsepower, what's more important is a strong video card.


My site, for various stuff that I make.

My point. Don't look at Ghz. Look at architecture.

Also, the 8600 GT helps.

My video card is a comparative artifact. I can't even run simple games, like SimCity 4. No pixel shader.

I have a (fried) Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB drive laying here on my desk.

That was an unintentional joke. Fish and chips?

Nice. I wish mine still worked. It's a good hard drive. But it got hit by lightning.
