@so my hardware should run this @50-60fps constantly... but it doesnt YET ctrl-alt-delete does help.
If it doesnt work for you that sucks 😕mileysad:

 you can shut off shadows and turn off headlight shadows that also helps boost it up a bit, turning off anything else didnt help me

@mcandogan: glad we could help(i wasnt the original founder of this awesome trick). too bad EA isnt coming out with anything yet......

I don't think it's helping me because my framerate is already high, with or without this trick that's working for others. I just hoped it meant I could disable LockTo30 and have a consistent 60fps framerate. Yeah I'm using Fraps. I get 60fps most of the time, but it drops to around 45 or so in places where it stutters. I can get a consistent 60fps if I disable some options but I would rather have the better graphics and a fixed 30 fps.

I'm still convinced the problem lies with the LOD not working. And, comparing it with the PS3 version - where you can see the LOD is working, it's a pretty obvious bug. They shouldn't even need DxDiag dumps to figure that out. At this point, with not even progress updates from the developers after more than a couple of weeks, I honestly don't think a patch is coming.
