Not sure what AMD could do to help with Drivers either., especially without Lumion themselves reaching out to work with their Engineers on optimisation.1.1: If the model name and model file location are unchanged since the last import, please click on the Object toolbar followed by the Place Mode tab in Build Mode.ġ.2: Click on the small circular Object Icon of an Imported Model. The same is true for AMD Processors., as honestly something like the Ryshould be overkill for an Application of this Nature. Rather what I'd recommend is keeping on Lumion' case about this., try to force them to better support AMD Graphics Hardware as well, as far as I can tell right now they're just not. Instead it just seems like a poorly optimised Engine, which doesn't really have a "Quick" Solution. like there's no obvious (again in 7.5) features that could be disabled via Registry Tags for the Application.

Now, how to resolve the Performance Issues? Honestly, I'm not sure.
#Upgrade lumion 8 to 8.5 windows 10#
essentially all the Engines that I develop in-house are targeted at Mainstream Graphics (so I have High / Low) Cards (in this case RX 480 / GTX 1060 and RX 460 / GTX 1050) and we simply scale within those to hit performance targets.īeyond that I do have a Pro Duo (Polaris) but eh., that basically ran it identically to the RX 480 so yeah was ignoring the Secondary GPU … at least until it crashed the Driver.Īlthough that's likely due to the Windows 10 Pre-Release., as it's a tad on the "Unstable" side. Unfortunately I don't have an RX VEGA in-house to test with, at least not at the moment.
so could Radeon" (ah if only it was that simple., make my life a damn sight easier) Rather, it seems like they benchmarked it on the GTX 1060 and simply assumed "Well, if that can run it. In any case, the Engine (at least in 7.5) doesn't even feel like they've considered Radeon Graphics, let alone actually bothered to test it on such.
(likely drafted in Sketch Up using Lumia for "Fine Tuning" and "Vista Rendering") … I don't know, it wasn't exactly 'encouraging' especially as I can see it running like a dog even on a High-Performance Laptop. I don't know if 8.0, 8.5 or 9.0 (as those are not the Trials they provided) improve this at all., but honestly given the Sales Pitch Video they had for 9.0 was essentially for showcasing Concepts to Customers in 'Real-Time' for Home Renovation / Building / etc. in essence the RX 480 wasn't Rendering various approaches, Anti-Aliasing was entirely disabled on everything, Z-Depth Fighting was occurring on Alpha Textures as well as the Shadow Mapping (causing a nasty Chequer Board patterning, and again no Aliasing was being done). On top of this the GTX 1060 was rendering the Scenes Correctly.
I mean I wouldn't recommend 50% Resolution / Lowest., but still it was possible. In fact at the Lowest Settings 60 FPS was Possible. where-as the GTX 1060 was seeing quite a noticeable uplift through performance options being switch on/off. Lowering the settings on the RX 480, and basically they didn't make much of a difference., perhaps 10% at most improvement in performance. Yet, this actually isn't the only difference that I was seeing. Now something interesting is the RX 480 was seeing 21 - 36FPS on each Sample Scene., where-as the GTX 1060 was hitting 40 - 48 FPS. Ran each of the Sample Projects (on High Foliage, Super High Graphics, High Terrain). Alright, so grabbed a copy of the 7.5 Trial.
