Have you enabled v-sync? This has proved to fix issues like this.

Are you using the latest beta drivers from AMD?

Under Options/settings and Graphics/Dispay settings there should be a dropdown or tick box for v-sync.

Not sure if this is correct but...

CD drivers suck.

Get the latest betas from the official AMD site.

They are normally burnt in bulk and 2-3 versions out of date by the time they have been packed & dispatched.
