I think it depends on the hardware of the system it runs on. I am not a programmer, but I did some 3-d modelling for a game currently in progess. The coders told me the poly limit was 6k polys on the screen using the GeForce 2 as the minimum graphic card because that was the max it could handle.
This is probably not what you are looking for, but it might be a starting point.

fog,camera range,backface culling, good textures that hide the fact that they are low poly models.
on my geforce 2 i had 1600 cubes on screen at once and had a fps of about 20, which is noticeably shaky.

It's pretty much all graphics cards these days. OF course you need a fast CPU, but if you ain't got the G-Force or better, then don't count on gettin extraordinary FPS.
