8181 Significant optimizations to CPU performance have been made. These changes both improve the speed of key operations, and allow us to utilise more of your CPU cores, resulting in higher frame rates. Overall, you should get at least a 25% boost, and significantly less frame spikes when CPU bound. This is especially impactful for heavy gameplay situations. Note that if you are GPU bound, you will not see any improvement from these changes. When GPU bound, lowering render resolution or using Dynamic Resolution will improve performance.
