so i've noticed a good amount of performence coming from CoolVL! but all of that goes away when shadows/projections get turned on where as the other viewers get higher performence with them still turned on.

Ooooo, i'll have to give Cool VL viewer a go as well then. see if i notice any changes then! As for the OpenGL, that performence increase alone is tempting to get a NVIDIA card. Shame that the drivers suck though.

Ahhh so it's only really using one core? that's interesting then. i'm going to assume there's not "brute forcing" it to use more than one core?

Hello! So this is more of an experiment or such that i'm wanting to see what the highest graphics settings i can have while having a high frame rate. This is most likely the most asked question on the forums but hey, here we are 🤣 My GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 6900 My CPU is a AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-Core Processor My RAM is 32 GB. My Download speeds are usually 350+ while upload speeds tend to be 200 during peak hours. These both tend to be higher off peak as well. I usually also put the viewers onto an SSD just incase to see if it helps as well. I've been jumping between different viewers (Second life Viewer, Firestorm, Black Dragon, Alchemy etc) and they all seem to have wildly different results. Black Dragon seemingly having the better results with 50+ even on it's max settings? While Firestorm poops out 20 frames. though i've noticed a recurring theme. none of the viewers are actually using all of the resources that are avaiable to them? my CPU is often being used 9% of the time, RAM it's 35% of the time and my GPU is only 25%. I'm curious if there's any way to force the viewer(s) to use more resources. i don't seem to see any settings in the viewers that allows me other than wacking everything up to max and my PC isn't chugging or anything. it demands more. Any advice or such would be appicated! i've been testing performence when visiting the linden newbrooke sims. as since it's all built by linden (except for the interiors and such) i thought it might be a good benchmark to place myself in. I understand that SL is not a "game" so to speak. But it wouldn't hurt to see what can be achieved.

Currently on the windows version myself, even the performance viewer only goes to 512

Oh! That'll be very handy. I'll give it a download and test it then! I've tried this but it makes a lot of textures blurry?

So i've been fiddling about with grapthic settings on different viewers and i want to use the default viewer due to how everything looks. My only issue so far is texture blurryness/thrashing? despite searching online on forums and such, the default viewer limits texture memory at 512MB for the 64bit viewer when this should only be for the 32bit viewer? I would use other viewers but i don't like how bloated with features and how everything renders differently. I'm just after performence with grapthics having advanced atmosphere/lighting. i'm almost there in achieving the goal, surely there must be "that one box" or setting i've missed? Also strangely enough, changing the time of day affects the fps by like 30? Been testing on the newbrook sims 😄 Anyone got any further tweeks? thanks!

Recently i've moved into a new house. Obs i thought i would have some issues from day one but i've been trying to get closer but the internet hub can only be moved so far. i'm upstairs and it's downstairs

Howdy! So i've been trying to log into Second Life recently and i keep getting booted out pretty much within a minute of loading. In that period i can easily walk around and send messages but it decides to boot me out. It's saying the Connection ping time is over 600ms. I am using wifi as i don't have ethernet access. I have tried the method of changing the DNS settings to google as well as i saw that in a few posts but that doesn't seem to work. It's been happing on both Firestorm and the main SL viewer as well as i thought maybe switching viewers could help? Any suggestions? Thanks! Charlotte

So did a maleware scan and nothing popped up 🤷‍♀️ It's also a fairly new computer! Maybe a month or two old now. i've disabled those but still getting like 20 frames in populated areas.

This all sounds really confusing to me but it does sound like the issue seems to be with SL itself. I've dropped the screenshots below of my current settings. i've tried multiple viewers like CoolVL and Alchemy but it doesn't have any increase whatsoever. Thank you all for your help so far! i'd really hope i can solve this 😅

So i tried doing this but i'm still getting 20 ish frames a second. I tried the Alchemy viewer as well on the same exact settings but it's around 30? I'm honestly quite stummed why it isn't running better. i've got the network speed at 1500 as well.

Hey all! So i've been trying to figure out what's making SL run on so little frames. i'm running at 20 on average in pretty much every sim. My specs are, gpu AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, cpu AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-core processor, 32 Gb ram. I'm using the firestorm viewer 6.3.9 In theory i should be running SL just fine right? but i'm so stumped on the grapthic settings and what would be the best. Ideally i want to be running the highest settings while being smooth. Any tips/advice? Thanks!
