Not really. There were a lot of nice gameplay tweaks too. But I'm in the same boat as everyone else --1.05 seems to have downgraded the visuals AND the performance for me

Yeah, not having the input changed message is nice and so is Geralt ignoring the candles while he's looting something else - still, I'd rather deal with that and have my smooth framerate back
Ok....this is with same settings. Anyway my FPS are strictly the same whatever the settings options I choose. Only SSAO, Hairwork and Foliage distance have an impact. Even if I overclock my GPU I don't get one single more FPS.
i7 3770k
16 Gb RAM
AMD HD 7970
Windows 7 SP1
Patch 1.02 : 40/50 FPS game run smooth, no popping noticied
Patch 1.03 : 30/45 FPS rare microstutter, some NPC popping (a lot in certain location)
Patch 1.04 : Never installed (because I only read bad comments about it...)
Patch 1.05 : 25/30 FPS, more microstutter, NPC popping still present, horrible change on AA, some LOD issue
On each patch graphics are worse FPS are worse.
Honestly I don't understand and personnally I don't ask for something impossible to do. I just want CDPR rollback to the 1.02 graphic setting.
I'll just try to rollback on 1.03 (wish to 1.02 but in that case I'll lost 30 hours of gameplay) and pray for not having mainquest breaking bug.
For the XP, I'll download mod on nexus to compensate (I've seen a mod that increase the XP on killing enemies)
Too bad.. 1.05 have a lot of improvement which seem to me interesting and it's such a pity.
And yes I think so. I wasted my money on this game. I've trusted CDPR....Never again

This is getting old. Game is amazing as it is, they're just rushing with fixes for those who have the game unplayable, while breaking some things that worked. It is not a waste of money to get a game that has at least 200 hours of gameplay. I think I'll just reinstall the game with 1.02 and wait for a better patches.
How exactly do you start from 1.02 anyway? Im guessing GOG or something similar. Cause steam doesn't allow to rollback.
1.05 totally broke the game for me, crash on start up... Haven't had that happen to a game since 2003
Seems to be hit or miss. My games fps has improved with each patch so far and has looked better. I have an I7 4xxx series. not at PC so not sure exactly which one. 780 gtx(no oc)and 32gb ram, with all on ultra except hair works(don't like it anyways), and foliage density and NPC limit on high and I have a constant 60fps+ only time it dips is in storms when in highly forested areas.
Rig:
i7 @4Ghz / 8 Gig Ram / ASUS Strix GTX970 / 1920x1080 / All Ultra settings, except Foliage Distance, no Hairworks
Game is running faster and using less CPU than 1.04. Galloping through the forest was ~45% utilisation before, now down to ~ 30% with 1.05.
Previously had Foliage distance and Grass density on HIGH. Now Grass on Ultra. Workload is spread evenly across all 8 (logical) cores. Rock solid 60 FPS.
There are so many nice things in the patch anyway, but for me it has been a NOTICEABLE performance boost. Love the game, love the engine, very happy.

my guess is most users complaining of downgrade in performance have changed areas, from the less intensive orchards, to more populated areas, which is where the popin issues start to occur (or simply have # of bkgrd chars set to high/ultra).
i can def say what @bobbyjoe52 desribes sounds like that. on a 7870 ghz ed, i get 35-50fps on high, depending on locations, whether it is an orchard/plain, or water/reflections involved, or a city, or city+water+reflections.

To me the performance got boosted. Not in manner of FPS but smoothness. I can even have my hairwork on (All things) and fps is about 25 but it feels no lag at all.
Mine is 4670 with 769gtx.

which are the cons of 1.02 ? although its a downside that you gotta redo the whole game if you are further on.
I wouldn't say that. I have saves throughout the game, issues started with patches.

A lot of non-translated strings (doesn't matter if you play english version), which were fixed in later patches, some inconsistences in UI that were fixed later + check the change logs for other bugs that were fixed. Most of them didn't affect me, so for me 1.02 is better overall.
Also no blood on water, but it's minor thing compared to constant pop-ins and shadow issues.

Yeah I can concur, Titan X as well and seemed like I lost about that in fps as well. Thought it might just be me, glad to see I am not imagining things.
My performance feel good, on a 760 4GB card. It has always been good for me.
I wonder if that's it people are skipping in between patches or something.
Check your graphics settings if you changed them. Someone said they are reset with each patch. I haven't verified that myself though.
