This file displays 80% slower in V7 than V6

I believe it’s related to different handling of cached block geometry. The file is slower in both Wireframe or Shaded mode. Rhino 7 is a bit unusable if things go like this as we heavily depends on nested blocks.

I have tried with no success:

  • disabling TwinMotion
  • importing all settings from V6
  • updated to the latest graphics driver

In V6 (SR27):

Time to regen viewport 100 times = 4.08 seconds. (24.52 FPS)

In V7 (SR0):

Time to regen viewport 100 times = 17.83 seconds. (5.61 FPS)

File (This file.3dm):

SystemInfo from V7 (both have 8x anti-aliasing enabled, also before I updated the graphics driver.)

Hi @gankeyu
That driver is old - 1 1/2 years, actually - and I’m guessing Nvidia has released more than 20 driver updates since then. The newest I could find, is from 9 days ago, and I would give that a spin. Also make sure that your Windows in all updated - updated OS and Drivers go hand in hand :slight_smile:

I took the SystemInfo before updating the graphics driver. As for Windows I cannot control it because it’s controlled by the IT dept. But we have Windows Update enabled.

@gankeyu thanks for taking the time to test this. If the performance is really that bad, then I would consider the RH7 release premature. I would also assume that the McNeel devs would be aware of this.

Hello - I see this - I’ll investigate. Thanks for the files.
Indeed, it appears to be the blocks that are causing the slowness.

Blocks, eh? :wink:

Good to have a file to test on, because I see this too.

btw don’t know if you have investigated an oooooold issue (which is also raised by me…). :rofl:

The latest 7.2 release candidate should improve the display performance for this.
