Hey,

I have just learnt that the official 1.4 patch has been released and as we know from the beta patches it adds substantially to performance, reduction of stuttering and fps (frames-per-second). I have not downloaded this new patch yet as I'm currently at work for the next few hours but it would be interesting to find out what fps difference your having in comparison to Skyboost r4 which was the best thing since slice bread before perhaps this 1.4 patch.

Please let us know your testing conditions i.e. where are you located, any texture mods, computer specs and nvidia/ati settings (AO on/off? AA/AF? etc).

So how much better is patch 1.4 compared to Skyboost r4?

I used all of the various Skyboosts including the DariusD variants and I gotta say the 1.4 Beta was even better for FPS, by about a 20% margin over the best of the R4 Skyboosts for me too if I remember correctly.

Gained between 5 and 10 fps with 1.4 over Skyboost r4. Happy gamer here

Great results!

Interesting to see if Skyboost people can optimize it further! Would really love to have higher AA or shadows on Ultra as opposed to High without dipping below 60fps.
