ok all seems pretty good after making these changes/selections in game graphics...
Extreme settings
Screen Space AntiLiasing Off
Timeslice animations update Off
Timeslice Shadow update On
Since the AMD optimizer reboot/crash I only did these few things and it isn't even a little choppy on my windows 7, so far. Though my NVidia On Screen Display isn't showing at all and Fraps is. Should be the same on vista.
