[HELP] Me(7K), My Gun(2K) & The Sun(?K) = GFX 40K

Trying to figure out performance of the engine in AL.

In basic lighting it drops in-half to 20K.

Just something to figure is part of the engine, I think it would be nice to be able to calculate for every 10k poys x3 to x4 will be used I know there may not be a good calculation but something close?

Thanks,
OD

When the editor is open the extra draw calls your seeing is all the editor gui stuff. We should look to fix the reporting to never include the editor guis.

As far as having 40K triangles in the first screenshot... i suspect there is something wrong with your models (most likely doubled geometry). AL will at worst double the triangle count if you have no shadows enabled. With shadows it depends on your settings and LODs.

Try running that thru NvPerfHud and step thru the scene one draw call at a time.... it should help you spot what is going on.
