For viewers that are supposed to perform better… I am not seeing it. May be my computer is getting too old and just isn’t able to use the newer tech to render faster. Or… the newer viewers just require more computing power. Time for a new computer.
Whatever, outdoors the viewers all seem to offer about the same performance.
For rendering avatars, the SL Viewer seems to be better. But I found it odd that I got such low numbers in my Green Room. Its up at 2,200m. Very little to render up there.
Alchemy
I decided to include Alchemy in my measurements this time. Version 7.1.9.2501 is the one I am running.
| Location | FPS v.9 Desk | |
| Porch 512m | 34 | |
| Porch 128m | 43 | |
| Green Room @ 2200m DD=128m | 103 | |

| Arapaima 9peps @ 128m | 48 | |
| Exhale Club 68peps @ 128m | 38 |
SL Viewer
Of course, we need to see how the SL Viewer stacks up against these two on performance.
| Location | FPS v.9 Desk | |
| Porch 512m | 32 | |
| Porch 128m | 44 | |
| Green Room @ 2200m DD=128m | 60 | |

Heads Up
| New Beta (yes really) 7.1.11.76658 (poser) Sat, Oct 26 2024 9:19:03 AM SLT No this is NOT ExtraFPS – it is still not fit for consumption But we have an awesome new feature – the poser. https://www.firestormviewer.org/ (Censored) One of the most requested features. We had resisted importing the poser in other TPVs due to the clunky interface and the reported instability. This poser was completely rewritten, based on Niran’s original concept, by AngelDark Raymaker. There’s a tool icon for easy access (just drag it onto your toolbar), or find it in world->poser |
I am playing with the Poser version. I like it. They have improved on NiranV’s UI.
