As someone suggested earlier, I've found "Land Shading" to be a big resource hog. Setting it to low basically got rid of stutters for me.
Here are the settings I'm currently using to get the game to run on my 4870 (512MB):
Resolution: 1920*1080@60
Full Screen: On
Model Detail: High
Buildings Detail: Very Low
Land Detail: Medium
Forest: Very Low/Low
Visual Effects: High
Texture Quality: Medium
AA: Off
Epilepsy: Off
SSAO: Off
Damage Decals: High
Buildings Amount: Unlimited
Land Shading: Low
Grass: Off
Shadows: On
Roads: On
Its not completely smooth (when low down for example) but it is acceptable. Finally able to use the game somewhat over england (havent experimented there much).
