the king of waste is tressfx though, tressfx will cost you 30+ fps and it doesn't look that good

It was just unoptimized, version 2 runs better and V3 is coming out this year.

oh yeah, i talked to a crytek dev about that. he wouldn't tell me whether or not they were gonna use it

do you have any benchmarks or anything

do you mean DoF

Well V2 was used for the XBO/PS4 Tomb Raider port, and it ran very well considering the hardware, there aren't any PC games with V2 though.V3 is going to be at the GDC, the new Deus Ex and Tomb Raider games will use it.
