Horizontal motion jerkiness

I am running Catalyst v10.10 and playing at 1920x1080 resolution (16:9). My system configuration is in my signature.

I have noticed this problem mainly in Fifa 2011, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Mirror's Edge. Fiddling with vertical sync makes things bit better. But I expect a lot more out of this card for games like Fifa 2011.

To explain the problem in a visual fashion, when the goal keeper kicks the ball to the center of the field, the sideline camera, as it moves away from the goalkeeper to the center of the field shows jerky movement, it's just not very smooth.

For Mirror's Edge game play and Battlefield Bad Company 2's mostly cut scenes, the graphics 'tear' horizontally, if that's the right word. But this tearing does NOT interfere the playability more than by 5%.

I am certain that there is nothing 'wrong' with the graphics card because there are many games e.g. NFS Hot Pursuit 2010, Crysis, Mass Effect 2, Assassin's Creed II, Call of Duty, Far Cry 2, and even Metro 2033 that have very little to no issues at all. I am wondering what kind of setting would fix this issue and make the game play smoother.

Thanks.
