2GB VRAM makes no difference to stuttering

30% is low, is your ati card fully activated when the game start ? some stay on idle frequency

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 69xx series is a dual GPU on one slot card. If that's the case not only are you running crossfire, which we know doesn't work, but the 2gb VRAM is actually the same as 1gb, it's just 1gb for each GPU. That can be an advantage depending on how you use the Crossfire, if the second GPU/VRAM combo is doing all the AA and AF work, then that VRAM will come in handy, if both GPUs are working on rendering the scene then it's effectively 1gb VRAM.

the 5890 is dual-GPU 2Gig
the 6970 is single GPU 2Gig
the 6990 is dual with 4gig ( i wouldn't recommended it's a wattage hog )

Good to know as I was about to pull the trigger on a 6970. Good ol 5770 does alright, was just wanting to get rid of the damn stutters. Patch is coming though

As I said CPU is 30% not GPU which is 100%
