Where are the dense trees on the left side of the runway? This shot doesn't look the autogen is on max. The strange thing is at this position, I'm getting a few frames more pre-SP1. All my comparisons are done with no addon.

Your dual core is getting the same fps as your quad core with graphics max. However, pre-SP1 at the same location, I am getting 14fps. Guess I will be running pre-SP1 for the time being.
