I have a E8500, ATI 4890 (cat 9.12), 27" Dell WD monitor,creative X-fi fatal1ty soundcard, 2 gigs DDR2, Win XP pro sp3.
running at 1920x1200, max graphics, shadows on, no AA.
Inside the boat the fps always hovers between 60-80 and never goes below 60.
Out on deck in the ocean, fps again between 60-80 even when looking at shadow of boat. Boat shadow is rendered correctly.
The lowest FPS I have seen is 35-40 when on deck leaving harbour in the Narvik single mission. That scene is heavy with scenery and friendly AI ships.
I have never seen any slowdowns with explosions, etc.
