Is V-Sync (Wait for Vertical Sync) turned on under the F11 > Graphics options? If so, turn it off!

I'm sorry, but you're going to have to post more info than that. Post your dxdiag report and see if anything stands out.

Although have you tried throttling back that CPU? 5.6GHz is slightly past the stable operating speed, even with water cooling that's pushing the boundaries.

It's probably not overclocked. 5.6 GHz is 2.8 x 2... I've seen some retailers advertise a dual-core CPU with twice the clock speed just cuz it has two cores. Deceptive advertising ftw..

Did you remove all of the old drivers completely when you installed the new GPU, and installed the new drivers? I'm scared to ask what the PSU is.
