In my case, the stuttering was a direct case of my 1gb card just not having enough vram on 'high' texture detail. Lowering the setting to 'medium' made all the difference in the world and I enjoy a virtually completely stutter-free experience now.
I'm a bit surprised some (a lot?) of people still haven't really figured out the link between the texture detail and video card vram.
The choice is a simple one: buy a card with more vram or lower the texture detail.
Has anyone tried the high-res texture patch for Crysis 2? It requires about 1.5 to 2gb of vram, and stuttering is present in that game at the 'extreme' setting as well, for guys with cards with less than the reccommended vram.
