I've been doing some performance analysis of this mod list as opposed to the 1.2 game
I work in IT and have access to allot of different hardware. For my main workstation I have:
32 GB ECC RAM
12 Core Xeon with baseclock overclock to 4GHz, 15m L3 cache etc
Three EVGA 4 GB GTX 680 Superclocked GPUS
So no SLI for SH5 where one gpu is forced to take the load. The load itself is not a problem for one of my GPUs where in cases with the gameplay being GPU limited I easily do over 100 FPS with 1920x1080 and all the eye candy on
The frustration I have is this game is so poorly threaded. I have most CPU cores sitting at idle while in say the starting dock Im not much over 30 FPS due to all the additional scripting that is going on with the mods. The impact of the scripts is easily noticed and is somewhat marginal even on my main workstation.
Once the traffic goes and were out into open waters the framerate picks up and I see it hit over 100 at most times.
It would be fantastic if there was a way to make the scripting more symetrically executing
