I'm keen to see what difference the DDS files will do.
I just played SMG with my new PC and even at crazy resolutions and AA it's super-smooth (at least with Ishiiruka, i.e. no shader cache stuttering). However, with the texture pack and Texture Cache at SAFE the stuttering is unbearable (and in contrast to shader cache stutters, these don't ever get better). I don't know if this is more due to the texture cache at SAFE or because of the big texture files, but with DDS I guess we'll find out.
