I have an AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor at 3.00GHz, and feel my video card is what is lacking and taking my FPS down a notch. These FPS rates are with Shadows, Sunshafts and Liquid Detail all low or off, View Distance at Good, with Ground Clutter and Environment Detail at Low. Texture Resolution is on High, as I've experienced no real drop or escalation in FPS fiddling with that. Projected Textures is on, and Particle Effects are set at Fair. I'd really like to get more setting up and at more FPS. I also have a 1920 by 1080 resolution screen, which may be a stress factor too...
