Arrow NFS Shift

I've had Shift for awhile now but up to now I've had enough.
I've read in various other forums that Shift and Ati don't go well together. Its quite ridiculous. I've seen videos on youtube of people with lower performing hardware i.e. a 8800GS that get much better frames than I do with settings on their highest.

Anyone now if theres anyway to boost my frames? Some events are unplayable and its annoying as hell.

I just get really low frames when there's alot of cars. Thats why I usually only play car battles, but still dont get more than about 30

Dont know average FPS but its mostly around 15-25 or so. When am placed at the back its just unplayable

Settings.. i let the game set it so.. some stuff on high and some on medium @ 1680x1050 no AA

Okay I just ran little benchmark
All settings except motion blur on high. I put motion blur OFF

1650x1050 2AA/4AF

Did two races: One with one opponent and the other with 11

So the average frames were 29 and 14 respectively

So what does that mean?
