In all honesty I think it might be your CPU causing the stuttering, not the GPU. Nearly all the 'no stutter' reports I've seen are from CPU's running at at least 4 gig (overclocked or not). Other than CPU, we're not dissimilar - 5770s, 3gig of RAM to my 4gig. Are you running crossfire, or just a single GPU - with crossfire I see terrible stutter no matter what I do.

More powerful GPU will certainly help - the newish GTX5xx series are very good for CloD from what I've read on the forums, but I'd think about a CPU upgrade too. I'm no expert though, at the end it's all trial and error really. Lower textures and no shadows will certainly help - but it's up to you how much graphical quality you want to sacrifice.

Also, try pseudo windowed mode, that might help. Vysnc & SSAO off, no grass/roads/etc and buildings/building detail low.
