I have the stutter issue with 8800 GTS 640MB 163.71 driver, E6750 CPU, 2Gb, Win XP, 1920x1200 60Hz, max settings. I had stutter on several maps, mostly in door (I never had stutter on my other computer with 7900GT/E6400/2GB/Win XP).

I had very unusual observations with zhitomir1941: Russian side, defending the third objective (left building) with semi-auto sniper indoor, third floor near the stairs on the Russian side. I run toward German spawn to open the door across the long hallway, and went back - stutters appeared, but

1) it does NOT look like fps drop, but stutter.

2) I tried to lay on the stairs as I did before and rest the sniper rifle, but RIFLE DID NOT REST, AND "REST WEAPON ICON" DID NOT APPEAR.

3) I did not kill any German even motionless with the right sight after it (I had many chances and I was killing many before from the same position).
----------------------------------------------
The stutter prevented me from resting weapon at the usual place and aiming. This is very unusual and IT CANNOT HAPPEN ONLY BECAUSE OF THE DRIVERS ONLY.

The stuttering issue with 8-series cards effects just about all games based on the Unreal 2-2.5 engine. In my experience, the stuttering occurs most heavily at zone transitions or areas containing multiple zones, and such would be prevalent on maps such as Zhitomir and Danzig due to the high number of portals/zones that you will experience in a light urban map. The issue, ultimately, is with Nvidia and not RO (being as if effects other games based on the same engine as RO), yet Nvidia has done nothing to rectify the issue for XP users.

danzig (one of my favourite maps) is now completely unplayable for me with an 8800GTX...it is nvidias problem but they are so up their asses with next gen stuff they often forget to check back to older engines. I used to be a solely ATI man and this kinda thing makes me wonder why i stopped.

The real issue is that I was NOT able to rest sniper rifle in the place it can be rested AS THE RESULT OF STUTTER. I suspect that the issue is not only with Nvidia driver, but also with RO.

I will try now beta drivers released today...
