For AOC I would set HyperThreading OFF

OCing GFX will most probably not give you much but adding every bit of performance should give noticable performance boost.

Start with CPU.

Also you can tweak quality settings one by one to see which one gives biggest hit and just turn it off (for example ScreenSpaceAmbientOclusion is a minor rendering improvement but uses LOT of resources).

So far, disabling shadows has improved performance a bit. For the rest of the options, I've always "played" with them in the past, and they don't change much.

I will try with the CPU OC and see how it goes.

Edit: I've OC'd it to 3.8 without HT. The game seems to handle these "heavy" situations better than before, and the temperatures aren't so bad.

Thank you very much for all the replies! Let's hope that they can make a better engine in the future.

My framerate really worsened the last weeks. Probably because I run windows 8. Anyone else experienced worse fps lately?
