Before upgrading my rig, I'd turn off Volumetric Fog and/or Environmental Effects in Heavy Fog and precipitation, cause they butchered my frame rate (mercilessly...6-8 FPS is NOT fun!). After the upgrade I leave everything on, I've even upped the AA and AF settings, and still I get a steady - and VERY playable - 20-25 FPS in the aforementioned weather conditions (kudos to kriller2!). The ghost crew doesn't really bother me, though it does look surreal, especially with Pacific Environments mod enabled (more kudos to kriller2, just for the heck of it!). Let's just say if I could make a list of bugs/features to be remedied, this one would be very low on my list.
