That is one heck of a good system! What are your AI traffic settings? If you reduce those a little you normally get a few FPS back

If you only have default AI turn it down to 85 or 90% if you have added AI from the web or your own, turn it down to 70 or 75%, that can improve your FPS by upto 10 per second.
