How to make my CG benchmark in Archicad

Anonymous

Hello,
I watched the last benchmarks on Archicad 24... On very old graphics cards!
How to make my benchmark myself?
And to determine the polygons number in my project I export to C4D. Archicad knows how to count / display the numbers of polygons?
thank you
Eric

If you install the Goodies Add-On you will find the Polycount command in it, which you can use in the 3D Viewpoint to count the number of polygons in your model.

Yes ! Thanks for that...
And to read FPS (Frames by Second)... ? Archicad do not have camera track option (Animated) to check FPS

I don't know about such a test, but here is an article about recommended Graphics cards for Archicad 24 and it has FPS information:

Unfortunately, I do not know how Graphisoft measured those FPS numbers, but they did so there must be some third-party solution to do that.

Sorry, I have never done this so I don't know any such tool.
Hopefully, someone else from the forum can help you.

You could try to use Windows Game Bar to measure FPS. Press windows+G to bring the bar, then fix the perfomance windows (lower left of the screen in my case) clicking the pin icon to make it visible all the time. If it doesnt show fps for you, you must give it permission by clicking the FPS text and get permissions. I think you must restart windows for it to work.

Edit: Well, I tested it and it works
