Beware- this may just be superstitious belief, but it seems to work for me as well as a few others, so I'll pass it along...

Anytime I get a new patch I end up with some stuttering problems.  Not so much FR problems, but here's how I fix them.  I go to the HTC folder, and delete my "cache" folder.  I then go out of the game and do a disk clean-up and defragment (whether it says I need it or not), restart my computer, and restart my game.  This seems to fix all of my problems, at least for a month or so.  The cache folder rebuilds itself when you start the game again, so don't empty it out, just simply delete it.  If I notice FR/stutter problems I repeat the process.  I don't need to do it all that often, and it makes things run smoothly for me...

Superstitious belief or not.............this has always worked/helped in the past.....

Deleting the cache did seem to make a difference.
It could very well be coincidence, but frame rates were back to "normal" last night.


Spaz... YOU are a ham-fisted hack.  Look it up.  Wikipedia probably has sumthin' on it.
(But I'll fly box formation and shoo away LA's with you any day, bro..)

Posting a Dxdiag report, and a 15 minute run of ping plotter would go a long way in MAYBE sorting out your problems. Your game settings as well.
