N4 Patch HUGE frame rate increase

I hope others will report in, but with absolutely nothing changed except
applying the 1.3.0.6 patch, I am getting approximately a 50% frame rate
increase!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I couldn't believe it and assumed something must be
turned down or off, but no, it looks awesome and all settings are maxed out.
I carefully recorded frame rates at a number of tracks and scenarios as I
was playing with Nvidea drivers in the past and it is clearly a HUGE
increase.  Basically, I am getting the frame rates with a full 43 car field
now that I got at a test session with no AI before.

Wow...I haven't had time to look at anything of the other aspects of the
patch, but I just got "finished" graphics speed and quality.  A little late,
but worth it I guess!!!

Marc.

Wow, that's quite spectaculair! Allthough I'm not too much into
Nascar, I allways chose a full field visibility and gladly offered up
some fps for that, it looks quite impressive driving with 43(?) cars
on Bristol.. Time to reinstall N4 and try this patch then..

I'm using Detonator 21.81 on 2 machines with GF2 MX's and saw the exact same
framerates from 1.0, 1.1 and the new patch.... on both of them...
