Pre patch:

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
14571, 216436, 20, 153, 67.322

After the patch:

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
13133, 217544, 10, 136, 60.369

So there is a drop but most of the time I average 70-80 fps in normal gaming so there is really no need for more.

And by the way, the Black Death track really benefits from the new lighting and sounds. A lot... Was the blast wave from explosions there earlier or did I just miss it? And I don't remember the dust kicking up when the delayed fuse bombs landed?


EDIT - here are my patched results for jimbop's track (no vsync only). Really thought my rig should be a bit faster than yours. They almost identical but the 580 should give an edge over the 480 one might think... I guess it's the fact that you run a tiny bit lower res that gives you the edge, and obviously it's the CPU that limits in this setup more than the GPU and there we are identical.

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
4963, 60606, 61, 157, 81.890
