Performance Poll BETA PATCH v1.06.17582

[pupo162]

7870 saphire

settings: maxed out 1440x900

Notable performance increase.

about 50% over london (from 30 fps to 45)

about 50% over the channel (from 80 -120)

frances: about 80 fps now (soemthign like 60 before)
england: about 50 fps now (before:35-40)

in case of smoke/ particles on take off
before: 1 fps or less
now: minimun 30 fps.

No slowdowns or stutters.

Also: no more aliasing. im not using any antialiasing but the ingame 2x, and it looks far better than any AA injector i've used.

Hm looks like the people who get worse FPS are all nvidia users?
I got a 7970 3GB AMD and a 6core 1055T and the game is smooth as it was never before! No stuttering even down low over Citys or Trees.

I have a substantial performance increase with the system in my sig. Running highest settings with forest and grass off (since it was mentioned these are causing problems with the current beta). Virtually no stutters, everything is much smoother.

Edit: I tried using the ingame AA and I still get only get AA up to 2x and past that there is no visual/performance difference, running Cat 12.4 WHQL. And my comparison of performance between the current and beta version is with running the same settings.

Same performance....may be worst!!!

I posted this elsewhere, before I saw this thread.

Ran the first half of the black death track before and after installing v1.06.17582, here were the results:

Before beta patch:
Min: 8
Max: 63
Avg: 42.485

After beta patch:
Min: 9
Max 70
Avg: 44.836

Set to very high at 1900x1200. I7 2600k at 4.4ghz, GTX680 video card, 16GB ram, on sandforce SSD.

Subjectively, still micro-stuttering all over the place.

So, I voted "similar performance".

Please, for the love of god, get Antialiasing working, lack of it is a real immersion killer.

You may have a point. I am having worse/same performance and I do have a GTX460. I wonder if there actually is a pattern with nvidia cards?

Getting the same fps using.

5870 1GB
AMd 955 @3.6
4GB ddr 1600mhz ram.

I have to turn almost everything low/off to keep the GPU memory under 1GB. Is this normal for everyone else ?

i could actually up my settings whilst maintaining roughly the same amount of fps.
Are you using the new Catalyst 12.4 by any chance, as that already gave a slight performance increase (mainly reduced stuttering a bit and minimum fps were very slightly higher, well within measuring accuracy).
