i got a damn long startup phase with a black screen (about 20 secs). please have a look at that.

[edit] a6 test: 23 fps, just 2 less. and the cam movement is much better

FPS in A7 is 36 but visually is very choppy as you move.
FPS in A6 is 15 but as smooth as can be.

Unfortunately I have to say, if there wasn't an FPS counter on screen, from a players perspective, A7 would feel laggier than A6, you'd swear its framerate was lower. But I've had the same thing happen in some A6 projects and solved it with code so it's probably a moot point.

Definitely a performance increase though!

From what I know, 20 entities multiplied by 1000 = 20,000 entities . Sure, I'll run various tests with it in the future; however, right now I'm only interested in seeing if the big frame rate that I am getting on my pc is an accident - and from the other user's posts it looks like it isn't

JCL said the A7 renderer was in use in the Lite-C beta. So pick it up and you can make any levels you want to see how it handles all the different entities.

15 fps with your compiled executable
15 fps with your source compiled A6.50.6

note: Only while viewing 1,000,000 polygons the framerate drops to 15 steady. Obviously I get up to 50+ fps (my monitor support refresh max. 60fps), when I start looking the other way.

Any recommendation for other agp graphics card?

All the best,

"Any recommendation for other agp graphics card?" Sure, get a GeForce 7600 GT. I've bought one a few months ago; it was the most powerful agp card I could get back then.
Edit: it looks like you've got lots of applications running in the background. Maybe you should check your startup configuration (start -> run -> msconfig)
