Overall Performance After 1.3 Patch?

I was wondering if people have noticed any performance improvements after installing the patch even if it is in beta. I remembered that this was one of the items that was going to be fixed when this patch was first announced.

Thanks.

However close the Beta was to the official release, I think in all fairnes, you'll have to judge it on 1.3 and not on the leaked Beta. Personally, I don't think you'll see a significant performance difference between 1.2 and 1.3

No mention of performance tweaks in the readme.

And no mention of it in the post by Dan in which they outlined the things they were working on.

I doubt you will see any performance increase. On the other hand you won't see any decreases either!

I can see smoother fps in the leaked beta 1.3, although you can see huge explosions and convoys. No stutters at all. Ati driver 7.6.

Its not out yet Jmack. These guys/gals are talking about the 'BETA' 1.3. Just do as I do and wait for the official 1.3 release

I believe (but I could be mistaken) that that refers to a few new higher rez 2-d screens (radar and sonar for instance).

Ahhh..certainly could be. I just had noticed that line at the SH4 homepage, and thought maybe it was the reason people are claiming to be getting a 'smoother' game.

Guess we'll see for sure soon.

Coincidently I'm about to instal a PhysX card, which is supposed to improve FPS even on games that do not use Ageia Physx by taking some of the processing load off the VPU.

I'll post results after.

If you did the "Dev debug" fix the patch undoes it. You will have to fix it again. It really does seem to improve FPS.

Unless you have a marginal system... then you may have a problem.
