with all the copy and pasted textures, I would be extremely surprised if it wasnt running at 60fps.
the foilage is hardly impressive, yet its covering more than 60% of the screen and areas where there isnt grass, its covered by low textured platforms.

3D World's textures are almost all quite high resolution. And this isn't just "running at 60fps" in the way that COD and such claim to be (when it reality they frequently drop to the 50s and 40s) but a real, flat-line, v-synced 60fps.

It's not exactly pushing the hardware to its limits, but its a gorgeous game that puts 99% of games to shame in terms of performance.
