Video Cards Issues...?

Hello!

First time poster. :)

A quick introduction:
Been having some, which I mean are, computer errors which I want fixed.
I have been browsing around numerous sites looking for some top notch people to help me, and I've found you guys which seem pretty experienced
in these issues.

So here goes:
Not sure if this is the right place to poste this but might aswell start with blaming the display adapter...

My problem is, and bare with me, I'm from Norway and may have some problems explaining the issue. :p

I have this, which I like to call, a graphical stutter.
Its almost like a low frame rate.
Thing is, if I move a open window around in windows, like Explorer, I see a lot of "Graphical Stutters". But only when i move it fast.
Like a slow refresh rate, if you want to call it that.

Same goes for games aswell.

I would like to say I got a pretty high end computer, so this shouldnt be happening...

I can also add another thing that confuses me...

Tried installing Far Cry, to test out how my computer holds up against an "older" game.
In Far Cry Configuration Tool, it says my Machine Spec is "Very High".
I click on "Auto Detect" and it still shows "Very High".
I go to the Video Options (Advanced) and click on Auto Detect,
and it setts everything on "Low".

I then manually set everything on Very High, run the game, and it runs very very smoothly on the Very High settings.
I still experience the "Graphical Stuttering" when looking around fast.

I'll stop here to see if i get any feedback on this.
Dont want to make a too long first time post. :p
Feel free to ask me questions so we can norrow this down...

Thank you for your help.
