I've tried messing with all my driver's 3D settings to no effect.

The framerate is like.. like it's running at 60fps, and then it'll
just skip a bunch of frames.  Like it suddenly processed way faster
than the screen was able to update.  It does this constantly - just
switching between normal speed and super-fast a few times a second at
seemingly random intervals.
