I honestly think that lowering resolution and settings can at the current state of the sim can only take you so far. What the best settings are for each simmer is best determined by adjusting settings and observing the impact, everyone's system is a bit different, not only due to system specs, but also due to what else might be running in the background, how cluttered your HDD is with age old stuff and so on.
At times, maybe every year or every other year a complete, clean reinstall of the OS solves many problems just like that.
But most importantly keep in mind that the graphics engine is being reworked right now, so untill that is completed and released in a patch I would not worry too much about desperately trying to tweak performance. I am pretty relaxed about the issue, sitting back and waiting what the anounced 50% performance increase after the reworked engine will look like.
