3dsMax 2019 viewport performance

[hoyer]

Hello,

I just wanted to test 3dsMax 2019 for some production scene.

Sadly I had to see that the viewport performance is quite bad, compared to Max 2017.

For that particular scene I get (approx. 67,4mio polys) 2,7fps where I get like 40fps in Max 2017.

Viewport settings are the same and for both Nitrous DX11 is activated. Graphic card is a Nvidia GTX 1080 running driver 391.35. Max 2019 got latest update 2019.1.

Hi @Anonymous 

A small caveat with the new FPS counter in 2020, it's displaying a more accurate framerate now, but in most cases this will show numbers that are less than the same scene in 2018 or 2019. I've heard the previous FPS counter being described as "totally wrong" by some...

If you would able to share some scene assets, I would be more than happy to put you in touch with one of my counterparts who is leading a dev team who are taking a serious look at performance and trying to bring some satisfaction to stories such as this one that we hear far too often. If that sounds interesting, please feel free to send me a direct message with your email address and I'll pass it along.
