Download the shadow improvement mode lite . Use the lite version .
Put your shadows slider in the ingame graphics options to halfway .

Downlopad antilag what is that

It's three files you can find here http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/BadgerFinn

The readme.txt (one of the files) contains full instructions, but the basics is change the settings in antilag.cfg (those are the settings sober mentioned), then drop that file as well as d3d9.dll into your game folder (the one with sh5.exe in it).

You can experiment with different values in the antilag.cfg file, and if it doesn't do anything for you, all you have to do is to simply delete the two files from your game directory and all will be back to the way it was before.

I was thinking maybe i need a bigger power supply 1000w because this card should run sh5 great.I got this card because i was going to get IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover.But if im having problem running sh5 i have no chance to play il-2 its even greater in graphics.

Most of the info I can find online indicates 750w should be fine for a single card of that type. If you're running crossfire though, I'm not so sure.

Download the antilag .dll file linked above, edit the cfg file as directed and drop both files into your SH5 folder (where the .exe is). This will solve most of your fps problems. Turning down the shadows, texture quality and particle sliders in game will also help, as will reducing the bitmap quality in your Catalyst Control Centre.

One thing you don't mention is what resolution you're playing at; higher resolutions will increase the GPU workload. Drop to a single monitor & retry if this is the case. I run both Ciffs of Dover & SH5 on a Core i5 @ 3.6g & a GTX570 1.28g, 8g of ram so your system shuld be more than adequate for both games.

Im running no crossfire and my screen size is 1920x1080 ill keep trying with the settings and stuff.I been trying to overclock my card too but the same results.My other games i play run great at full settings.GTR Evo,Silent Hunter 4,Red Orchestra,Supreme Commander 2,Company of Heroes,Battlefield 3,Command & Conguer 3 Tiberium Wars.It cost me over $600 on a video card so i could play great graphic games at full settings.

Ah fair enough, was worth asking. Try the antilag file, set to frames rendered ahead = 2 and framerate cap at anything from 35-55, and let us know your results.
