Have just built a new PC (specs are below) and have installed ATI catalyst 6.4 and the highest FPS that I can get, is with the view from outside of the car at around 75fps. Considering the specs of the PC this should be reaching near enough double this. All the settings withing LFS are set correctly, e.g. the FPS is not limited and all the graphics settings are on highest, admittedly, but the GPU should handle this without a doubt as should the PCU.

Any ideas if it is this version of ATI Catalyst that, again, is not very well suited with LFS and that this is what is limiting the FPS within LFS?

Any help appreciated.

Hi,
Do you have V-sync off in drivers and in LFS?This affect FPS really much if its set to ON.

If you mean "outside" view the TV view then such a FPS could be normal.LFS you really strong CPU and it cant use 2 cores currently as many other games.Your CPU X2 3800+ is then like my A64 3200+(2Ghz) and i get same framerate from TV view in many situations.
You can get same frame rate with succh CPU no matter if you have like NVIDIA 6600GT or ATI X1900XT.LFS doesnt use fully the potential of your GPU.

As I said try to first check the V-sync option.Try also overclocking your CPU to 2Ghz and check if you get more FPS.I bet you should:-)
