With better textures and modern VGAs, no much increase in FPS with lower resolution ones, but the impact in VRAM is big, because CloD uses really big size textures and almost all VRAM available.

That's why we can't see big gains in FPS, but a lot of redution in texture streaming resulting in stutters. You are in the right path, because the bigger trouble in CloD is the bad stutters in high quality texture settings... Maybe if you invest lowering the "less important" textures quality/size you can really do the trick!
