Do some searching I am sure there are others ^^^^.

Also, what are your system specs?

It is late here so I am signing off, but will check back tommorow.

I'm not trying to brag here but I hate it when mine falls below 60fps. I've seen others playing games with fps similar to your own and their perfectly happy about it. 12fps sounds a little low to be enjoyable though. The other thing is you'll notice your cursor either gliding smoothly across the screen or dragging as your fps falls.

Turn all graphics options off to begin with. Set the minimum resolution your happy with, then add one effect at a time. Play ten minutes or so, if it's still smooth enough add another etc. Also, if you show your fps at the top of the screen sometimes the number will rise or fall (even though the games paused) as you change the options. The two effects options I find it hardest to live without is the full screen glare and the high quality textures.

Hope that helps.

turn off 3D wakes, they are not so important and you'll get about 2 or 3 fps more.

Also, do all your testing stood on the bridge view facing forward and down since that (for some bizarre reason) seems to cause the most drag on the system when out at sea.
