I just can't belive that you get such poor results with that monster card.
I run the sim on 560 TI 1GB w/o any problems you mentioned,
with almost everything on max except building details on medium
and forest on low.
I have 2500k on 4.5 GHZ, but I'm shure that thuban on ~ 4 GHz
will perform very close.
Your 30% GPU usage points at problem, CPU can't fill GPU with data.
Also about shadows, I dont have problems with them at all,
but I saw some guys with ATI cards have it, maybe some driver settings,
or new driver will help.

Yes, the CPU is not really keeping up, but the game is not really utilizing the CPU it to its full potential; however overall I think most Sandy Bridge Intel CPU’s will beat the AMD CPU’s due to their faster memory read/write speeds. I am hoping with an optimized game and more mature video drivers I can turn on all the present eye candy. Don’t get me wrong, the game is very smooth at 45 FPS over a town and when flying over everything else it is at 80+ with no issues and it does not turn into a stutter fest while heavily engaged over a town with lots of flack and aircraft. Bottom line the game still looks great with the settings I have. It is the Shadows, but specifically shadows while flying over towns where I get a big FPS hit so for the moment they are turned off.
As for the grass, I don’t know what is going on there, it is not an FPS issue it is just a persistent stutter, but since I don’t cut the grass very often I don’t really care about it.
I can only get the CPU to 3.4 on stock volts and this is my first time overclocking so I am taking my time and learning as much as possible before I start to mess with the voltages.
