Just done a BSP(1024x768x32) test between Blitz3D and Darkbasic Pro. The test involved loading and displaying a BSP including simple movement and free flight control. No collision detection included and vsync was off in both tests. Guess what?? Blitz3D BLITZED DBpro!! and not just by a few fps.. i managed between 180 and 500 fps in Blitz and 40 to 123 fps in DBpro... both used the same maps. I know DBpro uses DX9 but surely its not that slow.. maybe somebody can elaborate.. btw. blitz started slowing down as it hit 50,000 tris, which i think is pretty good.
