Here's my relevant system configuration:An asus bd with 2.4 megs ram o'clocked by 10%An nvidia ti4200 128meg ram video cardthe latest 61.77 driversWorking around with configurations, I did the following:Anti Aliasing 4xSAnstropic Filtering 8xImage setting-PerformanceVertical Sync-off.My screen is at a 1024*768 resolution17 inch monitor.The upshot for all of this is that I think I have virtually eliminated stuttering and pauses. Stuttering for sure, but this has never been a problem with my current rig. Pauses seem to be gone, except for an occasional very short interupt which I hardly noticed. Now, I only discovered this yesterday and have not had enough time to really fly under visual stress conditions to verify this. But, if any of you have similar equipment, and care to try my settings, I'd be interested to see whether we have found a pot of visual gold for nvidia card users.Sherm

I have the same card was you and find 61.77 to be very good drivers, I don't plan on changing anytime soon.
