I used to run an 8600GT and I think you're settings are a bit too high for really smooth gameplay.
I'd go to landgeom2 instead of 3, stick to water 0 or 1 and set effects to 1. Effects 2 can get a really high end rig stuttering. V synch is all about personal pref. I run it on with a Quad Core 260GTX sli setup because I don't like the tearing you get without it- as I use eyes to look at the screen I can't see the advantage of anything over 60 fps anyway !
With balanced settings your card can run the game really nicely, but at the end of the day one persons stutters are someone elses smooth as glass- its what looks right to you that counts
