Post Testing Report.
Offline: 91.33 Max 80
91.47 Max 60
Here the kicker:
Online: 91.33 Max 40 with jumps from 80 to 20
91.47 max 60 with limited jumps in lite or heavy areas.
Noticed less stutters aswell.
This is just an hour an half test but I like what I see.

91.47 looks good so far tried with water reflections off got around 70-85 went in and turned water reflections and normal maps, and grass shaders back on 65-85 with no stutters, so these look better than the 91.31 and on par with where 84.21 was. I am using the new UI in the driver, but I think I liked the classic version better.
Main4ce, Vista is sounding cool but folks is wondering why most people would upgrade, cause it requires a 3d card for AERO, they canned the new file system. It will incorparate the new DRM schemes, and such stuff. I'm really beginning to wonder if it's going to be another windows ME boondogle or not

Ya got lower offline with them too but online for most of tonight (6-8 hrs game play) I had much higher FPS and only mild stutters form Metz to Antwerp.

Well all the rats are saying that the new stutters are not from pagefiling or RAMusage/Memory leak so if the drivers are able to render something differently it sounds good.
If I stay on the FPS and lack of stutter (Occasional Update Spike) I might put off my upgrade for abit.
