Thanks for all answers,
I have to tell sorry about this noise, the framerate fall down
was came due to an old and forgotten OnSelectionChanged
script event.
Sorry again, please don't curse me.

I don't
know, try to turn off various things, for example right click on the
timeline and turn off Show Keys. also make sure you're trying
this by starting in XSI's default single-screen layout, to rule out any
hidden views

Andrea,
Sorry,
I don't have any ideas off the top of my head as to what could be
causing the slowdown. My suggestions would be along the same lines as
others have suggested? Do you have any unusual views open, plugins
installed or OnSelectionChanged scripts? You could also try renaming
your preferences file to force XSI to create a new one and see if that
makes a difference.
I
think your best bet is to go through support since they will try to
reproduce the problem taking into account which QFEs you have installed
etc.

Hi Brent,
Thanks, I understood, maybe you have some idea about my
problem ?
I notice that the same workstation with only one setup of
XSI doesn't have the problem.
Could be to too much versions of XSI installed ?
What I could try ?
Thanks for any help.

Are
you thinking of Preferences -> Interaction -> Limit Max Playback
Rate to Scene Frame Rate?
Also,
the maximum frame rate will be clamped to the monitors refresh rate
unless you turn off vertical sync in the driver. Turning off vertical
sync can result in "tearing" since the image might be refreshed halfway
through a vertical retrace but can give much better performance when
using multiple 3D views. (since you are not forcing each 3D view to
wait for the next vertical retrace)
Also,
our software does have an upper limit of around 75-80 fps when
interacting or orbiting but this doesn't apply to playback. This is not
an issue with XSI but is based on the maximum rate at which mouse
events are dispatched by the underlying OS. (so the limit applies to
other software packages too)
Cheers!

There's
something somewhere that limit's XSI's playback to 60 fps. It's unset
on my laptop but the workstation I have here won't go faster than
60fps, no matter what I do. Can't remember what the damn button is,
though.

I tried to use only one monitor, but still same problem...
I deactivate vertical sync, same problem...
Anyway, I can't go up more than 75 fps, (because I change
Screen Refresh rate to 75 in my LCD)
Kim, 300 fps, even 500 fps! O_O are you doing HD beta
testing ?
I want your engine Man! :-)
Hi Andrea,
sounds like a driver preset issue. From the number of your
drivers I´d suspect you use an nvidia card, quadro
drivers.
Performance with these drivers varies GREATLY depending
on your driversettings. Do you use the softimageXSI preset?
With my XFX 7900GT/84.26 here, I usually experience a painful
lag for the first couple of seconds or camerarotations. Basically,
until the geometry has been "cached" by the driver. Then it ´s
faaast.
In your driversettings>extended settings, do you have your
hardware acceleration set to multiple monitors maybe?
For a test, you could also deactivate vertical sync but beware,
you shouldn´t really mess with any of that stuff if you´re
unsure
what it means. E.g., if you´re not sure where to find the
graphics-
card type installed in your box it ´s better you only
change the preset...
Cheers

P.S: 300+ frames is insane. I really envious...
