I just upgraded to Vista 64-bit and a nVidia GTX 280. Frame reates are awesome, game plays perfect...however, I get a little bit of a stutter in flight with the frame. Very slight, nu annoying. 1) has anyone else experienced it, and 2) did you get rid of it?

Did you disable Vsync in the Nvidia Cotrol Panel under the advanced settings?
If you did or if it is disabled, re-enable it. Your max frame rate will only be what ever the refresh rate of your monitor it, but that will get rid of the tearing(stutter).

Mystery solved: this only occurs in 'perfect' landscape. I can live with that. Thanks for the reply.
You can test ForceWare 185.20 beta drivers, for my Vista x64 and GeForce 8800 GT SLI they seem to work smoother than earlier drivers.
Usually only water=3 and water=4 options cause stutters, try water=2 or lower in perfect mode.
Vista has issues with perfect, i have know idea why... I have Vista x64 as well.
I use Vista 64 and perfect settings with 1920*1200*32, x4MSAA and AF application controlled, HQ textures (through nHancer), water=2, landgeom=3, effects=1, and I don't have any issue in this game. Any.
Check Nvidia drivers.
Regards.
PD: If you want to try my conf.ini only ask me..
Thanks everyone. It comes and goes. I'm inclined to think it's Vista. But who knows.

Take at look at what processes you have running. I'm running vista x64 with 8800 GTX and noticed the same thing. Except my stutters would get pretty bad. It turned out that Windows Indexer was causing the problem. I disabled that service and the problem is gone.
