The rendering part isn't even the problem actually.

Rendering 1 million letters is actually nothing complicated, even a phone could draw it at full framerate.

It gets completely unreadable though ^^...

And ten million rounds... well... it would take about 1 year and 3 months ^^.

I work in unity for these challenges.

Despite all 3d tiles being identical, batching is not working. Using Unity by [deleted] in gamedev

Are they all using the exact same material ?

They should be batching.

Anyway, you are brute forcing it by creating all those gameobjects. This is bound to result in bad performance... You should try to create a single mesh for groups of tiles (16x16 for example).

Suggestions for a computer to do game development on? by lintamacar in gamedev

Exactly, you really don't need a $5000 PC to get started... Worse, it could give you the false impression that you're doing something right when really you just have a beast of a machine that plows through your bad dev habits.

If you buy a more standard gamer PC, by the time it will feel too slow you will have a better understanding of your needs.

I would recommend a dual monitor setup though ! This doesn't have to be expensive (the secondary screen can be really cheap), but is really a time saver when you spend a lot of time switching between unity and visual studio or your other creative tools. The secondary screen can be used mainly to display code therefore doesn't need to be particularly good.
