Like many, I have had the stutters with water 3 or 4 and NVIDIA drivers. My system is a modest dual core Intel 2.0 o/c to 2.75 and 3gb RAM with a 7600GT
I have tried all the fixes published and appreciate so much the efforts you guys have put in to try and help the issue.
It can be fixed by reducing the settings down to water=0 or 2, but it frustrated me to have to do this. My problem was particularly bad when looking out of the side on wonderful maps like the C. Channel map.
The other day I found a post on the other side giving a link to another version of the NVIDIA drivers specifically targeted at people like us! Well, I took the plunge and downloaded it after removing the latest NVIDIA driver.
I'm astonished to tell you that it is amazing! My FPS has gone up, the stutters have all but gone and the settings are all still made using the NVIDIA presentation and taylored for IL2 as before.
I used the 1.16369 driver for Windows XP. Here is the link:-

It may not help everyone, but I'm just over the moon with it.
