What setting do you have Textures at? I have a 570, and see lots of stutters at 'original' setting (uncompressed textures), and some stuttering on High. It pretty much completely goes away at Medium (occasional stutter when going over new terrain down low as the textures swap out).
With the current state of the graphics engine being a coding mess of temporary patches over poorly executed original code there could be any number of reasons for hitching, but the classic one is waiting for textures to swap in and out of video memory. This seems to be supported here as SSDs reduce (but do not eliminate) the symptoms. I don't see hardly any difference at 1900x1200 between Medium and Original texures when actually flying the sim, but the performance difference is huge. Reduce the amount of data swapping in and out of VRAM and you reduce stutters.
Hopefully the graphics engine overhaul will put this to bed once and for all at medium-high settings.
