The buildings certainly aren't "smart", but 25-30fps is around the range that I get normally. It may be that your memory bus to the GPU can handle 25-30fps but not much more. Note also that the building density is not guaranteed. Building density is also constrained by building minimum distance, so density 2 does not represent twice the number of buildings in reality. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
