Do you mean screen tearing? If you are playing on a 60Hz screen and your FPS exceeds 60fps or your gpu and screen are not in sync you get screen tearing. Turn on vsync and it should be fixed.

but it should work and without vsync
my friens hd4350 can handle it on max settings 1280x1024 on 30-40FPS with a core 2 duo.

Actually. That stutter might be caused by a FPS drop. With Vsync it goes from 60fps to 30 fps. Try with Vsync on and Vsync off. Since you told us that you played on 70+ fps then you have Vsync disabled so enable that.

even when i have vsync on it ocasionally has an fps drop

 

[fastreaction]

Yeah but does it lag/stutter when that drop happens?

[seankoa]

yes that's the only time it does stuttering
