1 digit framerate with this level of graphics?

Had two copies running, one debugging, lots of stuff open... But yeah definitely a little slow. Very basic examples run at 50 fps on my machine

Very basic examples should do 200

I was testing influence of other applications on performance and it is ZERO. With opened photoshop, 3dsmax, Unity3D, EE, etc...performance of EE is identical like when running EE alone. It makes sense, GPU is always focused only on the active window, so once you have more CPU cores and enough memory, it makes no difference.

Demostenes, some people have pretty outdated hardware.
