I see some say 9.1 drivers are best, some say latest 10.1 drivers..
On ground missions I have severe lag, space not so much..
I turned off Anti Alias and shadows, not much help..
RAM,CPU, ETC not an issue.
Im running 1280x 720 on my "50" TV @60Hz
Please has anyone fought this battle for FPS that can give me some suggestions?

    I had lots of crashes on ground missions. Turn off dynamic lighting and see if that helps. If that doensnt help turn on monitor v-sync.

    I have the 4850 and as far as heat goes they aren't the best with the stock setup. I ordered some aftermarket cooling, mainly because I'm tired of the jet engine running on my desk all the time. Can't wait until it get's here.

    I'm running 9.11 drivers ATM, downloaded the 10.1. I think it's the Shadows, I turn that on in SB24 and crash soon after combat starts with my Engineer making Shield Generators and my Tac Officer lobing Grenades. Everything else is cranked up. NP with AA and AF set to 4.
