note the GPU% in the upper right. sitting at half utilization suggests the gpu isn't being fed fast enough. this would explain why luthier says the multicore improvements offer a large boost to performance.

Apologies - I have just checked and my GPU usage drops from 99% to ~50% in low flight over London, presumably as the CPU struggles to deal with all the buildings. Bring on the patch!
