I'd say enviromental effects knocks ~10-12fps off my system
Light shafts takes ~5-7fps
Full screen glare takes ~8-9fps
And post processing takes ~5fps.

I hope that future patching and optimizing boosts performance, I'd like enviromental effects..But, I don't play with external camera, so...not that big of a deal.

I don't mind having 20-25 FPS, so long as it's consistant... which it is in SH4.

the enviroment settings are sure a fps killer. And i often wants to play too at 100% but with the bug in manual targeting i use help there. but you do see the pretty thing even in 100%..when you dive, other ships, fog and plenty more. but i wait to i get my new computer to really enjoy the game. I hope for the computer to get in my hands this week. or i will sit in a corner and cry i think.

The game was released too early ,and unfinished, before cheap cards that can run the game could be in the stores.and the game performance is similar to a Beta, not optimized and too heavy in specs, also ,in some cases, moving some slides don´t help with framerates.
