...after the first couple hours of game play.

Spec's
3.21 GHz dual core (6400+ Black edition Intel)
275GTX nVidia (EVGA)
4 gigs of Corsair DDR3
Brand new install of Windows Vista x64

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This system, by the way, has run every game I've thrown at it in high to max detail settings, including the resource hog ARMA 2 (which reduced many systems to melted puddles of plastic).

The FPS in Civ 5 seemed ok with 6 or 7 units on the map but after the first opposing civ contacted me (the Aztecs), the FPS just took a dump.

Settings are currently high everything with max AA. What, if anything, should I try reducing that will yield the greatest improvement in FPS with the least reduction in graphic quality?

Thanks!!

Lower shadow quality to Low, and set AA to 2x...I found that helped with my game a fair bit.
