Performance loss after U1.2?

Did anyone else experience performance loss after updating to 1.2?

If I recall correctly, I averaged 75-80 FPS before 1.2, but now I'm hovering just below 60 FPS. Dropping from RTX Ultra to previous setting barely changes anything, and I'm fairly sure I'm CPU-bound.

I'm running i7-9700k (4.6GHz), RTX 3080, 32G 3200 MHz RAM.

EDIT: I'm running the game at 2560x1440.

After updating drivers yesterday and rebooting, then resetting graphics settings to RayTracing Ultra (minus Motion Blur and changing DLSS to Balanced), I get 60-70 FPS, which is acceptable.

I notice more pop-in, other than that performance seems fine for me, although I don't have an RTX card. Are you sure you're CPU bound? Sounds really weird considering how much more GPU power it needs compared to CPU.

More pedestrians and their (zombie like) AI means more CPU time required.

Sure, but the card will probably hit 100% use easier on 1440p with RT on max settings before the CPU
