Are you sure your Vsync is off?

Out of curiousity, are you in DirectX or OpenGL mode? I've noticed OpenGL tends to get far lower framerates overall, but I've gotten too used to the perfect water to ditch it

On the subject of FPS, I tend to get really awful framerates (low as 17) around the heavily populated areas of Slovakia, Odessa, and Murmansk. Is this a common thing for most people and just a quirk of the maps, or is there a trick to getting them to run a little better? The rig I'm running on isn't a slouch, the only other game I have at the moment that gets sub-30fps is ArmA3. I'm guessing DirectX instead of OpenGL and not using Perfect landscape would go a long way towards improving this?
