Hm, that game must be all about the graphics card.

I just put together a build for my little brother (ah heck has more money that me)... I saw lower fps than what you are showing. His system has a 8800 GTX and a q6600, 4 gigs ram, but Vista 64 (which may account for a few frames). On the "benchmark" run-through it dropped to 15 fps during the big bombing sequence. Given the top-end card, I'n not so sure it's graphics card bound... I think maybe processor.

I'm going to overclock it this weekend, I hope (moderate clock, hopefully leaving ram). I'll let you know if there's a noted improvement.

When i open task manager while running the included benchmark on games or on gameplay, CPU utilization never reach 100%, it move around 50-55% on all cores.

IMO, this game love high-end GPU for its physics calculations (explosion and debris) and dispaly but CPU hold important role when you have lots of infantry and tanks, when you zoomed in the planes while they are throwing bombs and when you nuke the city and lots of houses has to be grounded.
