The game may stutter quite a bit on Nvidia cards, it certainly did for me.
From an old post on the Steam forums:
"
*CORRECT FIX* for FPS problems and stuttering. *NVIDIA ESPECIALLY*
There are a few different regedit fixes floating around right now. Most of them are parroting incorrect information from people guessing and trying things around the time the original game launched last year. Here is the correct and up to date information specifically for the Director's Cut:
Open regedit.exe
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HRDC
Change "AllowJobStealing" to a "0", keep it as Hex if asked
*IMPORTANT*
If you are an Nvidia user you also need to change:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eidos\Deus Ex: HRDC\Graphics
Set "ATIForceFetch4" to "0", keep it as hex if asked."
Additonally, it may help to disable Tripple Buffering in game and/or the NVIDIA Control Panel.
