How many polys can you render?
Sadly mine is 1.2mil.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!

I've never had it crash, and I've had 5+ million polys on screen at once. Granted, it was unusable, but it didn't crash out.

At about 750k polys everything starts slowing down but still workable. I just put things on layers and only keep a few things on my screen until render time. I need to learn how to composite, then I could render in passes and composite them. But right now I don't know how to composite.

and i have a pretty decent machine.
wish i could hit 750 k poly and still run smooth in the viewport.
I've never tried to render more then about 600k poly though.

Modelers can get around with 2 or so gigs of ram. Simulators need much more; around the 8 to 16+ gig mark.
