To clarify, it's not mandatory to lower your effects settings. It's just that now the effects settings have the expected impact on FPS if you lower them, which they didn't until recently.
So is there any performance increase if you leave them at high? Because honestly, making graphics settings actually work is not the same as optimizing code. If they optimize the code we should see better performance at whichever graphics settings we choose. Just a thought.
