Its possible that the new renderer will deal with this issue and possibly have a better way to stream and load textures in without causing the stuttering.

Yea thats why I got the 3gb version of the 580 rather than the 1.5. I am very happy with the performance of this game with my new card but I just figured the stuttering would have practically disappeared. Again the only time it stutters is when I am below 300 feet or so. Very weird. I am going to mess with the settings here in a few minutes and see what I can do. Oh and kakkola I'll try turning off the grass and trees but I would hate not having these on as they add alot to the game.

So I just figured it out. I can have everything maxed but buildings and grass. Buildings are set to high and grass is off. With this I get around 40 fps over london and about 60 over the countryside. The grass is what was causing the low level stuttering. This to me is ridiculous because I don't think the game should be trying to render the grass when I am still a couple of hundred feet above the ground. I can't see the grass until I'm 50 feet or less. I think this just shows that Oleg has a lot more work to do on this engine before its where it's supposed to be.
