I ran some benches with FRAPS in the Assault mission (night time)
I'm very pleased with the results....time for more modding:
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
2095, 50910, 27, 52, 41.151
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
2205, 60698, 9, 52, 36.327
Keep in mind that I have shadows on medium and water on low......
Which reminds me; does anyone (especially you Mascaras) get a HUGE FPS drop sometimes when water is set to medium and higher? Even in scenes without water......I drop to 15-20 FPS when running 35-65 FPS on average.....this alone keeps me from setting it to high or medium. I got this with the old version as well.....but not the beta.
