My settings so far, still fiddling:

On the Aluminum Keyboard the key above DEL is Fn, so you can only lower the attack scope. I simply mapped the commands to other keys. (up/down and Shift all up/down)
Don't know how to take a screenshot or open console yet.

Graphics: (nvidia ctrlpanel changes)
pre-rendered frames: 1
About the others I'm not sure, I fiddle here and there, could not find any big impacts so far. However I've set all the settings (eg AA) that can be changed from within SH5 to "controlled by 3d app".

One huge improvement for me was using TaskManager to give higher priority to SH5:

After this, frames went up and the event cam no longer slows down overall gameplay when active, yehaa.

Also, disabling Vsync made it run quite faster, shadows off, rest is midrange now. Have to see if I can crank up with the "high setting" from the link above.

Besides, I am using the drivers issued by Apple for Win7 x64.

Mac is ramping up fans to max while playing, but I'm sure it can take it since GPU is underclocked anyway. (It's dead silent usually, well except for when Flash is running )

I think about that too, simply for this game. Just the essential necessary parts, but can't decide on a case. Maybe I case mod a trash can...
Besides, Win7 is really a nice OS and yes, rebooting sucks... However at least we have the choice.
And after 5 years of PC absence I still find that in order to play games you've got to roll up your arms and tighten bolts here and there, just as it's always been, har har
