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.

The german Games Magazin "Gamestar" did a test about this. The newest patch improved the quality of some lightning effects (but very minor things) which apparently led to a minor decrease of the performance (2-3 fps if I remember correctly). But the test was quite short so it could be that they changed more. Other people on this sub and I had the feeling there are more npc walking around on the sidewalks. I also witnessed a minor decreases in performance (3-5 fps. I'd say)

I don't think there's an actual benchmark in the game, so a short test would not be representative of the changes made.
