Anyone notice just how much better framerate is achieved when TAI is hidden.

I was testing this last night and on the bridge the TAI causes 4 or 5 FPS loss. Underwater from external view with TAI open about 6 ot 7 FPS. But the major one is if you are in persicope view and have your TAI open its eating 10 - 15 FPS.

Why? For such a small feature it sure eats up the grpahiocs bandwidth.

I noticed this as well, i doesnt seem to matter what size you have it either, just a major hit whatever size.

What also odd is that the UI itself is pretty low hit on FPS as when i turn it off i hardly get any FPS improvement. So the overlay of the UI must be handled differently than whatever is going on with the TAI.
