SM 3.0 and SM 2.0x are now enabled by default when graphics settings are set to ‘Very High’. To see performance increases you must have Direct X 9.0c installed.
This is from patch 1.3 change log, HOWEVER, I MOST CERTAINLY WASN'T RUNNING ANYTHING IN 'VERY HIGH' QUALITY before forcing PS1.4
I tried running in 'Very High', high or medium, and I swear, forcing (PS1.4 made 'Very High') smoother than (medium with PS2.0).

I KNOW I'm loosing some effects, but what counts stayed: Heat Haze, reflections, normal mapping etc...

Mild agnosticism —the view that the existence or nonexistence of God or gods is currently unknown but is not necessarily unknowable, therefore one will withhold judgment until/if more evidence is available. A weak agnostic would say "I don't know, but maybe you do."
