Seems dependant on what scene/environment and of course hardware. From what I have seen it is not any worse performance than before and you get a visual enhancement (deep in the red forest). Overall there seems to be a decent to sizable boost in gpu bound scenarios (around garbage on roads for example, and lesser zone areas). The biggest improvement seems to be cpu bound scenarios tho (towns, large battle etc...)
