Can anyone tell me how to view the FPS counter directly in Cliffs of Dover?

Map a command to open the control panel

When in it, type

How to force max clock speeds in CCC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4uNfWI6TiE

Same problem here. My 6870 doesn't budge, and I don't have the opyion to force clocks as described.

11.3 drivers

ASUS M4A79XTD EVO MOBO
Phenom X4 965 BE 3.4Ghz
8Gb DDR3 1600 RAM
ASUS 6870 DRIECT CU 1Gb DDR5
WD Caviar Blue 500Gb HD

Getting 10-20 FPS most settings Low some medium. No trees, no roads, noanyhting really. Think I'll stick with 1946 until this mess gets sorted.

I don't get that 'force max clocks' option.

The video Targ posted only applies to Crossfire users, who have additional driver settings available to them.

For single-card users you will have to use a third-party overclocking program like MSI Afterburner to force clock speeds and overrride PowerPlay.

I have a Sapphire 6950 and the underclock problem (average low FPS) tested the problem and used MSIafterburner utiilty to OC my CORE and MEMORY clock by only 1MHZ each.
Started the game again and the FPS improved a lot (still stuttering randomly and the "lagginess" feeling) went back to desktop and the charts in the utility showed the correct throttle up when in game of the Mhz and the throttle down when in desktop.
The utility is free and work with every ATI/AMD RADEON card, you can get it from www.guru3d.com.

Well I have crossfire and that option is still not available for me CCC 11.2 in either
crossfire enabled or disabled mode.

I've tried running MSI afterburner, but I can't find an option to 'force' a faster clock speed. Any hints?

Yep same here, twin 4850's and they don't have that option either, when looking for it, as Targ's video shows.
