I believe the problem you are facing is screen-tearing. It happens when more than one image is displayed at the same time. Basically what causes this is a gpu and monitor not having the same refresh rate. The gpu may send a new image to the monitor before it finishes displaying the current one, and therefore you see the screen artifacts. A simple way to solve this by enabling v-sync. It is sync the gpu and monitor so they refresh at the same time, but this does cause a performance lose. Nvidia's new G-sync technology does a similar thing, the difference being it uses hardware so there is no performance lost.

No bottlenecks with the cpu. What monitor are you using? It could simply be that the monitors refresh rate isn't quite high enough to keep up with movement at the speed simply turning presents.
