For me performance pretty much remains the same. If I choose a higher resolution and turn on AA/AF, it obviously becomes worse.

But overall I am very satisfied with the performance. I run the game 1280x1024 with 4xAA and 8xAF, and most effects switched on on my P4 3.4, 1.5 GByte RAM, 512 MB Geforce 7800 GT.

Performance from external view is about 20-28 fps, inside 45-50.

Cant explain why my performance has increased if hasnt for others. But I can say with certainty that my game is running smooth as silk after 1.2 with transparent water, where as before I was laggy and choppy. I'm not talking subtle difference here, this is substantial.

Here is my rig
Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz
Nvidia 6800GT OC
2 gigs RAM

thanks for the update!

hope my 7800GS AGP will do the job... latter I will report my comparative results here

I'm running an ATI X1950 Pro. Widescreen LCD set to a native 1680x1050, and I have to say I think I've seen a noticable improvement with frame rates with the 1.2 patch.

Which is odd, considering the res is now higher, and I'm now using AA and AF.

So far so good.

Ive gotten a big enough boast from 1.2 that i can play with enviroment And post processing on now and still have the same frame rates or slightly better than I had before - I could only have 1 or the other on before

I still get bad FPS when I have all the goodies on (especially light shafts and 3D wake)...and my PC is no slouch....
