Okay so brief update. After changing my graphics card's setting to Max Performance, using Direct3D 9, 2x 720p Internal Resolution, and Custom Textures off, the games run quite a bit better. They still drop frames, making it not playable, but it is nowhere near as bad as before.
I'd still like to run at least 1080p with HD textures without dropping frames. Given this information, could it be that I need a better graphics card? If so, what can you recommend?
