Graphic Stuttering

On my old desktop (AMD + Nvidia GPU) I had an issue with graphic stuttering. I would move/run smoothly, but everyone around me would pause/catch up, pause/catch up, etc. every 5-10 seconds. I ran a ping test in the background and my latency is perfectly fine maintaining a 40-50ms avg. So I decided to play on my laptop (which played fine) with AMD processor/GPU. I just built a new gaming rig yesterday, installed FFXIV, and its doing the SAME exact thing. I'm pretty much on my knees, begging for someone to enlighten me as to what the problem is. Civ 5 plays perfectly fine, but we all know its not like FFXIV. Its strange how my laptop, which doesn't stutter and plays at 30-40fps, plays perfectly fine in comparison to my two gaming rigs. Here is my system info:

Please help ANYONE!

Have you Set V-Sync on in the Nvidia Control panel?

Hey, thanks for responding. I read a thread talking about vsyng and micro stuttering, so I tried turning off V-Sync in the Nvidia control panel. I logged in to watch people run or jump around, and I still see visual stuttering. When people run and jump, they're in the air for 1-2 seconds, then they're caught up a few feet ahead.

One of two things fixed this issue for me. I uninstalled and reinstalled ffxiv. Before I logged in, I also port forwarded as well. So, one of those two things solved the issue for me. Im playing smooth on my new rig and no more seeing other people rubberband like crazy.
