Apparently there is some bad programming when it comes to multi-core implementation with this game. that stops all the stuttering for me...in video. Now my sound is stuttering which for me is just as important than the graphics. So at the moment it's one or the other for me. But maybe your sound won't have a problem with this solution. Let me know if it works for you so I can know if it's a sound problem on my end.
None of that makes any difference with my quad-core system. Priorty, affinity, graphics settings, none of it matters (except 3D clouds). The game runs smoothly if 3D clouds are off, but stutters when they are on. That makes no sense, since I have plenty of computer muscle to run the game. The only clue I have is the fact that the Ubi system detection tool (runs at installation) reported only 2Gb on my system when it actually has 6Gb installed. Perhaps the game is not using all available memory, I don't know. I've tried a re-install and that did nothing.
