Oh I get 20+ in an empty sim but anywhere other people exist...plummets. This is on latest 12th Gen Intel kit or even my 2016 8 core 16 thread HEDT platform with a AMD 6700XT 12GB GPU. NVMe storage throughout. I can be in a busy SIM with 5FPS and SL will be using 5% of CPU and 20% of the GPU. Wether a sim is empty or busy, SL just doesn't know what to do. 60-70Mbps internet with really low ping running on enterprise grade network gear. I can hook up any laptop or PC and get the same lousy performance and using different viewers/settings. It just ain't optimised yet the builder folks want to add more sparkly stuff to slap on screen. Yayyyy! Great direction if you want it to all grind to a halt one day. But enjoy your bigger and more complex textures...😄

Less gimmicks...more raw performance please. Otherwise it's "Second Life...live your alternative life with your friends at 3 frames per second!" If the performance isn't there, what's the point?

I'd rather they just update SL to actually be able to use PC hardware newer than 2010 properly. Stop limiting it to people that use a dual core Pentium laptop and Intel HD graphics. Use more than 2 CPU cores and use the 4 to 12GB of GPU ram most of us have. Been on SL for over 10 years and its performance with 'performance hardware' has gone nowhere. All well and good throwing more stuff up on screen but you need to improve the code and hardware usage to make it all work smoothly. Less garnish and frippery and more raw hardware performance please.
