Rhino Wip V8 Graphics still not as good as on V7

[Udo_Kolter (Udo)]

In V8 even a small simple model Buffers when rotated on my Mac Studio Max. GPU usage only 14 %
with CPU maxed out. 32 GB Ram

In V7 it rotates smoothly under 14 mb file size. Over that it also buffers or returns to wireframe .

See Model Below.

I’m getting 60 frames per second with your model using TestMaxSpeed. What kind of results are you seeing?

[Udo_Kolter (Udo)]

Steve, I’m not able to measure Frames / Sec.

All I can tell you is on my Mac Studio Max Machine with 4k monitor, the Activity Monitor tells me that

   the GPU is Not being used and the CPU is maxed out.   last update 7/29/23 on V8.

            Graphics on V7 are still much better although CPU is maxed out.

I hope to see the 12 core GPU being utilized soon.

Hi Udo -

@Udo_Kolter

I’m not able to measure Frames / Sec.

Are you running the TestMaxSpeed command? This is a test command and won’t auto-complete…

hi Akash, from where do you enable metal?

Wau !!!

 This last Update 8/09/23 Has finally Fixed the issues I have been talking about. The V8 Models now rotate smoothly with good response and high Res. .
       Can you summarize what you did?

GPU on my M1 Max Studio is now at 65%

What an improvement .

Thank You
