And I'm far from your FPS (with medium settings), + I have shuttering and game crash all the time (except today but I dont know how I did that.........).

Have you some tips to improve my performances?

Try lowering some settings, raising others, for instance change forest, building detail, building amount to low, this has helped me out alot, the sim still looks great too. Raise texture's to high, model detail high, land shading high, Also you could try overclocking your cpu and gpu, clearing your cache, adding more ram and turning off your page file(8gb ram only), turn off windows aero theme

I've done all of that (I'm playing 1366x768 btw).
I'm cleaning up all hard disks and installing Seven 64 (until now I had x32, so it'll be better for my 4G RAM). And I got to learn somewhere how to overclock Have you any links, which explains how to do this correctly without risks?

win 7 64 bit will help alot, (1360x768 ) here, I use msi afterburner for overclocking gpu, cpu is done through asus motheboard bios

be careful trying to overclock.I burnt a few sticks of ram that way.I thought i knew what i was doing from some info i got from researching how to overclock pc. I researched for days before i did it and honestly if u have never done it before and dont have a spare system or parts i would not try it.Wait for the patch before you do anything rash.

What nvidia drivers for win 7 64 bit can anyone recommend? I'm probably using the ones a few releases back, just always leery to keep running newer drivers, some games have serious issues with them.
