Just curious, around how many polygons can engines do these days? How many can Vision hold?

That depends entirely on the computer it's running on.

Yes, of course, but don't certain engines have a limit on how much they can hold?

I am not sure, but I think you will never see, in a game, more than 5000-7000 faces simultaneously.
For instance there is a fighter designed for gaming provided in 3DS Max 3 tutorials and it only have 512 faces... But it was released two years ago.
Now with T&L, which handle a lot more faces, things may have chaged (or will change soon). For instance I have got a Geforce2 and I have a reasonable frame rate (around 15-20 fps) while displaying 60K face models in opengl. It is 5 times faster than with my old tnt2 !

I think that to have a better answer, we should ask to the ones who are making games or low-poly fighters like Darkmage or Eder.
