This patch is not focused on performance, AA is not full supported now - reason why its not in game video options. Patch focusing on AI and campaign, multiplayer bugs, vis chanche log. Full AA suport is expected in 1.03.
He posted again in this post about fillrate feature:
There is now 3D and 2D resolution, filrate optimizer is hiden in 3D resolution. We change it, because lot of people dont understand what was filrate optimizer. Hope now its more clear.
