Tried the same test as in thread #19, which is on a test track of 5 tracks in concentric circles on a 3x3 baseboards. Each track is made up of four splines (procedural track) with five different trains at full throttle. Speeds range from 64 to 147 mph. No topology changes and one population of live oak trees in the upper left (north-east) corner outside the largest circle. Using the chase camera on the highest speed train, the objects (trees) come into view about a quarter of the time for a complete lap. Three trains are running counter-clockwise and the other two clockwise, so there's passing in bot directions. At times, all five trains are in view as well as the objects.
I'm getting a almost steady 60 fps until I pass close to the trees, and then it drops to 40. I'm using Sysinternals Process Explorer (recommended -- www.sysinternals.com) to watch my GPU usage. Simply right click TRS19.exe in Process Explorer and right-click "properties", then "GPU Graph." I get ~38% GPU usage until the trees come into view and the shadows begin to appear, and then it goes up to ~60%, depending how many other trains are in view.
I think this is very good performance, especially since I'm running dual 4K monitors with my Chrome browser, Process Explorer, Corsair Link (for cpu/gpu temp protection), Notepad, FRAPS, and TrainZ. I'm not sure what happened last night, but I was going back-and-forth between Surveyor and Driver.
Been 28 minutes so far and everything is steady. I'll leave it go for a couple hours and check back.
