I have an I7 950, 12 x1600 Ram, and a GTX285 and I didn't notice much of a difference from the beta patch to the April 18 official patch.
I am using 1920x1080 Everything High except Low on the trees, no grass, medium on buildings, and no roads. I am probably going to turn roads back on. Because i really don't see a big difference in speed. I get 50+ FPS at high altitude and dip into the high teens about 1000ft or lower.
the only time I notice a very slow rate is at extremely low altitude (500ft) or less. I haven't been around the big cities yet, but I am guessing that the bottleneck isn't the Graphics Card.
It seems to me that the ammount of objects that the CPU has to account for bog it down pretty hard. The only reason I make this assumption is how much of a difference online play makes to FPS. I think once they balance out and optimize core usage the game will be much more playable on multi-core machines. For me speed really is a non-issue though.
