Optimal setting for performance- frame rate anyway.

Hi guys,
I have the 27' IMac with the i7 quad processor, 8GB SDRAM and a 1GB graphics card ( can't remember what it's called)
Anyway, some advice RE: the above would be great. You know, what should be off, what should be low or high etc, basically stuff like that.
I've been looking at the settings window, the one you get when pressing the esc key, and to be honest, it has a bewildering array of options.
My frame rate just flying around is 59, so I'de be looking to at least keep it close to this in big fights.
Cheers
Oldman

Trial and error are your best bet. I have the same (iMac 3.4Ghz version) and run one client at max settings and two others on low, but I 'm an industrial player. I could probably ramp up settings on at least one more client but I don't really need it since I mainly stare at one client.
