It seems that no matter how many setting I change, the frame rate never goes above 30

Always between 25 -15 and occasionally 27.

Despite being a computer science major, my knowledge of this stuff is kine of poor. Anyway here's my my graphics card information.

AMD Radeon HD 7470 Series. Does anyone have any suggestions. I currently have my graphics set too standard Desktop, and playing on a server with a different time zone then be but is located in the US.

Also, please don't mind my bad spelling. I'm have a learning difficulty in language, and normally struggle with spelling in forums.
