I would judge a boost of 25-50% on my system with same settings. Seems it was bad coding all along. Oh well glad they improved it, I can actually play and not get frustrated now. The camera was changed alot too it's far smoother to work with. This patch doesn't do miracle but it is defo. a good start. Try it if you can't wait for the live release (like me).

Back up saved games (best to just back up the whole NWN 2 folder in default My Documents since it has all your settings saved there) AND if you have any custom UI installed make sure to take 'em out and back 'em up before installing or it won't install.

Remove cutom UI before installing beta then put them back in otherwise it will cause problems when trying to patch custom stuff.

Let me know if you try and notice a difference.
