I am trying to figure out some reasonable entity caps for this thing I'm making. All the characters are drawn using alpha stuff, so I need to be pretty careful about how much crap I'm throwing on the screen at once.

So here is a thing that draws 50 guys + the hud! Tell me what kind of framerates you guys yet. On my system, I get about 120 with just one guy, and about 60 when all 50 are being drawn. But I have a pretty nice processor, and I can't reasonably expect that people playing my verge game will have an athlon x2 3800+.

I'm probably never going to actually have 50 guys on screen at once, but figuring out an actual red-line, it'll help my level planning.

I get a pretty solid 47 fps with all of the guys on the screen. I have a 2.53 GHz P4.

I'm getting around 30FPS on my Athlon64 3000, though it fluctuates.

Seems a little low, but I wonder if the fact I'm running VIsta explains it.

Tested on my low end Sempron 2500+

One guy: ~80 fps
50 guys: 38 fps
