Presumably there are quite a few of you using 2012 in production by now. I'd like to move to 2012 for production but from what I'm seeing in real-world files the performance difference is dramatically *slower* in 2012.
I opened a file that originated in Revit (though everything has VRay mats), has 2200 objects, 380K poly's & 33 materials. Not huge by any means... It's all static geometry with default lighting - only thing animated is the camera...
However here are the frame times I'm getting when I disable "realtime" in the viewport config and play through an animated camera.
2010
shaded: 37s
wire: 13s
2012 (nitrous)
realistic: 190s
shaded: 180s
wire: 178s
That's roughly 5X slower in shaded mode and 13X slower in wireframe. Good grief. Obviously this can't be what everybody sees because all I ever hear about 2012 is how fast nitrous is. Thoughts?
System is a freshly ordered Dell Precision T7500, 20GB, Quadro 4000 & Win7.

Resolution found - issue was VRayScatter dramatically reducing viewport performance in 2012. http://forums.cgarchitect.com/67046-2012-wheres-nitrous-speed.html#post336604
