the virtual texture tech is not all mighty and you can still run into situation where if the allocation is fewer than you need you run into the page swap. It act similarly to traditional cache miss if you cross certain threshold because you can't keep enough "tiles" in memory. Texture quality popping and then stuttering is the symptom progressing from lower than needed vram allocated to severely insufficient.
