After patch 1.1 and the nvidia beta drivers were released I was able to play the game on ultra with ubersampling and motion blur disabled. I was getting around 54-60FPS during combat, cutscenes, etc. GPU usage was high. Now that I've applied 1.2 and the 275.33 nvidia drivers I'm averaging around 45FPS with the same game settings. It also appears GPU usage has been reduced. Anyone else noticing a performance hit after applying 1.2?

Some base system specs
i7-2600 @ 4.4GHZ
8GB PC1600 mem
560TI GTX SLI @950MHZ and 2200mem clock

Can you roll back to the 275.27 drivers and see how that goes for ya? The .33 drivers actually did help FPS in my case, but as they stated it was only an improvement in CPU-limited cases.

I can give that a shot. I just installed the most recent non beta drivers. They were released on 6.1.

Did you readjust your user.ini file? And are the options in the patcher for video still there...I didn't look too far into it myself because of menu problems(renamed)

I found the problem. SLI was disabled after upgrading my drivers. Yeah I know... GTFO n00b LOL.

Back to 54-60FPS.

Thanks for the replies guys.
