Screen jitter / stutter when playing a game under 60 fps

Look in your game and GPU driver settings and see if V-Sync is enabled. If so, disable it. When V-Sync is enabled the GPU will wait to draw the next game frame until the monitor is at the start of its next refresh cycle (60Hz for standard monitor) to avoid tearing of the image. When your FPS drops below 60 the GPU and monitor get out of sync, thus causing the GPU to delay the next frame image from being drawn until the monitor is back in sync (i.e. at the start of the next refresh pass). This can cause the perception of very minute stutters.
