I had GTX580 1.5GB cards and changed to GTX580 3GB cards and all my stutters disappeared with everything on maximum settings even in earlier patches.

The problem is the game still uses 1.8-2GB video Ram with the tuning of the textures they've done with everything on maximum so the card has to swap textures to system memory and back again. It used to use close to 2.5GB in earlier patches. Most people that are complaining of stutters now are just plain trying to run the game at too higher setting for the video ram in their cards.

If you can you should run MSI afterburner and check you Vram usage and turn game features off until you get under 1.5GB vram usage. The biggest change will be trees, buildings and changing from original textures.
