This is a very simple program that tells you test for how many polys you should use in your game. It simply tells you how many frames per second it will process with that number of polygons.
To control it use the upkey to increase the number of polys and downkey to decrease the number of polys.
I hope this program helps.

I'm afraid it is a bit more complicated than that. The position and other factors of the polys also affect performance. I can have 130050 terrain polys on screen at one time from over head and run at 110 fps, but be on the terrain with 20000 polys on screen and run at 70 beacuse of the polys behind polys. The best way to tell is to just expirament. In another test I had 7000 polys on screen and only got 90 fps. It's all about layout as well as the number of polys.
