My framerate suffers in IV as well, and I have a decent rig. Specs say I meet and exceed both minimum and recommended, but I beg to differ. I can max 20fps at best when I really tweak around with settings (and kill all the eye candy), and in ideal situations (e.g. completely alone in the middle of the pacific with nothing else around, lol). But even that feels pretty choppy to me, and once I move the view or whatever, just gets worse.
Only suggestion I have for you is maybe try defragmenting the computer. I did recently, not having done it before, and SH
III gained 15-20+ FPS! Not that I need it with SHIII, it already runs really smoothly. Hoping this would have translated over to IV as well, but I did not notice any FPS gains at all there - your mileage may vary though. Bout the only (non co$tly) suggestion I can think up atm. :\
