I did a test a few days ago with the rig in my sig.
Black Death with everything set to max with roads, lighting and grass turned on. FXAA in NVidia controle panel ON.
Min 5 Max 80 avg 37
Black Death with everything set to medium with roads, lighting and grass turned on. FXAA in NVidia control panel ON.
min 14 Max 82 Avg 51
I know from same tests that the differance in lowest fps is due to the new "medium effects", nothing else.
So turning down all the settings from maximum to medium, quite a big step if you ask me, gives one 14 (?) more average fps. Dont ask me if that's because of effective streamlining or reduction in highest quality. All i know is that highest quality visuals is sometimes no way near what i would call maximum settings (see previous pics posted.)
Haven't tested with roads, grass, lighting yet.
