GPU Poll

If you have same or worse results please check your anti-aliasing settings both in game and in drivers.

AA did not work in the old engine and works in the new engine. If you have AA ON in game or in drivers it creates extra load in the new engine and may give you worse FPS than in the old engine where there was no such load. Compare performance with AA OFF.

Also new GTX680 cards have special vsynk modes that can lock FPS. Try turning vsync of both in game and in drivers.

It really depends on how you measure performance.

If you are only looking at fps then I would say I am not seeing any real difference. Certainly clouds absolutely destroy my performance, far worse than before.

Having said that when flying around over the ground and buildings/towns etc I can see there is a noticeable difference in smoothness and far less stutters/pauses.

So in short fps seems the same but performance is better except when near clouds.

My System:

i5 @ 4200 MHz
ASROCK Z68 Extreme 4
GForce 580 GTX 3 Gig Vram
8 Gig Ram
Windows 7 mounted on SSD
Steam mounted on a different SSD
Resolution 2560x1440

GTX 460, a little lower performance

AA seems to work ONLY in the cockpit, not outside views. Check antenna wire, distant aircraft, etc. I am having difficulty believing this is a new graphic "engine" at all. I tried various AA options, both game native and driver. None work.

Also, in-game AA off or set (1x - 8x) makes no visual difference. But there is a performance hit, if you do set it. Sounds familiar?

Waste of time this is really. Signing off till the next placebo dose.
