Strange Performance Drop and Pixelation in 1.5.0 (3D)

This is very strange. After installing the latest 3D version of Torque X Pro, v 1.5.0.0, I have noticed a significant performance drop as well as obvious pixelation. With no changes to the StarterGame template, the GGLogo sprite moves about 1/10th as fast when the arrow keys are pressed.
Stange Pixelation with 1.5.0.0
Normal Rendering with 1.0.5.1
Any compiler optimizations I need to be aware of? The 3D demo games are equally slow. It can't be hardware or operating system issue since the 1.0.5.1 version still works perfectly fine.
I'm open to any ideas.

true element under the tag within the torqueSettings.xml file? For me, it speeds things up, but stll looks jagged. Also, I found it strange that new StarterGame 2D has horrible performance, while the LightSample2D demo is really fast and great looking. There has to be something wrong with the default effect rendering. Like you, I'm running on a top-of-the-line PC, so hardware can't be the issue.

Kzoink, does the performance improve any when you add the John K.

As I posted in the other thread, I am seeing the same behavior as you. That option does wonders.

Again this is new to Torque X 1.5, 1.0 still runs perfectly smoothe and clear.
