Normal frame times?

[Durp]

I have been trying to fix a very frustrating performance problem with my system for a while. The problem is that even though my fps is reported high it looks very choppy. If for whatever reason the FPS drops under the refresh rate of my monitor it looks especially awful. This is with only a single HD7950 running a single 1920x1080 120Hz monitor. Nothing is overclocked.

Does it look like the frame times could be causing this choppy problem or do they look normal? If it looks normal I think I'm going to RMA my 120Hz monitor because it's the only thing I haven't replaced so far. Fast panning also produces faint vertical lines or tears which I have never seen before. Tearing usually happens horizontally.

I recorded some frame times running around in an empty created server and this was the result:

That is not a normal frame trace from a healthy system, that is severe microstutter. That will no doubt feel awful because the amount of variance per frame is the same as the frame render time. Definitely not normal.

Thank you for taking a look at it. I will add a couple more. The first one more is me playing the game in a real server (TF2) and the second is the extremeHD preset in unigine valley.

Have any suggestions on what could be causing it? I have already done a full driver wipe and reinstall.

I believe the 14.1 beta driver for the GPU has the frame pacing fix included with it; you should try that

I have tried both 14.1 and the latest whql and the results look almost identical. I thought the frame pacing was to fix multiple card configurations though. I'm only using a single card.
