Lightwave no good for benchmarking

I LOOOVE Lightwave, but the fact is, it´s open gl performance is unstable like there is no tommorrow. There´s no telling what pc will run LW next version or even next patched version fastest! It would be more realistic to use 3dsmax and maya for benchmarkíng, i think you will find that almost every other 3d app behaves more like max/maya then LW, i am sad to say, LW being my favorite app.
That´s why i would suggest Tomshardware to do some more testing in this area.
And i think you´ll find the Athlons crushing the P4´s.
For instance; friends Athlon systems is way faster in 3Dsmax 3 and 4 at LOWER clock speeds then my P4.
I think it´s important to let the public get realistic 3d performance benchmarks, please do not use LW for this purpose

hi,

what version of LW do you have? you should contact NEWTEK support with dongle# and license. imo it sounds like your videocard, it is also know that many illegal warez versions are unstable and unreliable.

also, 3dmax3 and 4 are not taking advantage of SSE or SSE2 so that's why there's a difference.

note: Discreet has just patched 3dmax4.2 to take adantange of Intel's SSE, they are probably working on SSE2 support if they have not done so already.

>LW performance quite simply vary to much with each version to be used as a benchmark app on a site as this.

I think every benchmark THG used varied with each and every patch or upgrade, this is normal.

I must admit I don't know what you mean by "vary to much" do you mean that LW degrades? what exactly do you mean?

also, what videocards do you use?
