Black Dragon, the third party Second Life viewer with a cult following due to its and - we're talking - now has a 64 bit version that's reportedly even faster,:Please note that this 64 bit version is absolutely the same as the 32bit version except that it is now obviously 64 bit. From my tests so far however I can tell you that it runs a lot faster (for me) than the 32 bit version ever did. make sure that texture loading is done before comparing your FPS, while textures where still downloading I got roughly the same low 10 fps but when they were done loading I went up to rock solid 25-30 fps. That's with deferred, shadows and SSAO on., more info o which (NSFW warning) is full of graphically nude furries (because of course it is), but you can also talk with NiranV.
The big deal here is that Black Dragon wasn't 64bit for a long time as it was never necessary and personally conceived as obsolete, the simply time vs reward math was way off. The reported 'performance improvements' never applied to me when i tested any 64bit Viewer. However now that more and more people are reporting out of memory crashes and LL is almost done with 64bit i was intrigued to take a look into 64bit without any big expectations from previous tests on other Viewers. Having the Viewer in 64bit now showed a massive difference in performance and so far all users i asked reported the same, over multiple systems, places and settings which i'd call a success although a unnecessarily painful success.
Unlike on other Viewers i can actually SEE the improvements of 64bit, faster loading, faster texture fetching, much more fps (above example was in a full club), i'm easily getting 50-90 FPS in most non crowded places and 25-30 FPS in crowded places is still an extremely solid frame rate for SL given that all fancies such as Deferred and Shadows were enabled.Posted by:NiranV Dean. I only ever see 220 FPS when i go into the sky and disable soften light, that is with shadows, and SSAO still enabled, so you either have hardware similar to mine and possibly quite a bunch stronger or you just have your settings lowered. Regardless of what it is, these numbers don't come from 'the Lab', everyone's 64bit is a totally different 64bit than what i'm using. I'm the first one to have a public release of LL's 64bit Viewer code which is where my massive FPS boost comes from. I suspect others gaining some performance too when they switch from their 64bit to the official code.Also while we're on the topic, i'd like to see how much FPS you get on my Viewer now that it is 64bit.Posted by:NiranV Dean.
