that's just an opinion and far from fact

Well I'll post my stats when I get back home but currently mine is a game of 'stop-start' graphics. I can be playing smoothly then I get a freeze of 1/2 a second, flies okay again, then stutter,stutter, smooth, stutter.

This was while playing Hawkinge and I was using 1600x1200, everything on Max except Trees on medium and Textures set to High not Original.

I did turn Grass on but SSAO off as-well as Epilepsy Filter.

Graphics look fine and the draw distance pop-up is now much better, but the freezes are a pain. I'll go through the defrag process later, but my system is;

MysticPuma,

Same here. The stutters are back and fps have dropped quite dramatically. Something's wrong with this beta patch although some report no fps loss at all which I find very strange.

Seconded. FPS seem to have dropped by 1/3. Zooming in decimates FPS, and so does flying through clouds.

System specs:

i5 2500k
P8P67 EVO
8 GB RAM
GTX 580 Lightning (driver v. 275.33)
Asus Xonar STX

i meant landscape colour and sounds are real deal for my taste. now we have transparent shores the rework on the graphics engine is not perfect (somewhat excessive blue saturation) but is a huge step in the right direction (transparent shoreline, better water, darker trees, more natural colour for landscape, better shadows, less flickering, better effects, clean canopy glass,...)

i hope this settles the debate on whether if graphics improvements are important, of course they are important

Lets not forget this is a BETA patch...it's not final yet. So maybe when it does go final the code will be tightened up and it won't be a hit to fps.

I'm going to keep playing my older version until this goes final.
