I have used Fraps and OSD Display of MSI Afterburner,and the thing is,for instance while playing Diablo III,or M&B:Warband at the highest details,the meter ranges between 70ish and 100ish.(For Warband),however it really doesnt feel like butter-smooth.When I lower the details,meter will range inbetween 80-100,but feel much smoother.What could be possibly wrong? Even while playing BF3,50ish FPS causes some mini-stuttery experience.(I hope you understand what I mean)
GPU is a 670M.

in short- the human eye can see more than 60fps, people develop a preference on 'smoothness', its completely subjective as to what 'feels' right for you, though factually the human eye can see MUCH higher than 100 fps =-)
How many frames per second can the human eye see?

Its not a question about the human eye,if both settings show almost the same FPS,but one feels a bit stuttery,then there is something wrong.I think its best explained as if the game stops for a split second.Its not wise to say,oh your eyes feel better on low settings,that must be the setting for you.I am using the same pair of eyes

As for your' question about FPS counters being wrong, they are not 100% accurate, they are within 10fps, along with a small delay (they count the frames the graphic card is 'making', not what is DRAWN on the monitor)
Aside from that, stuttering, nowadays, can be from loading stuff on the HDD, games stream data from the hdd while playing, such as animations and textures.
Theres numerous other reasons as well, usually labeled as "crappy cpu syndrome" or "bad drivers". -
Thank you very much for pointing that link out to me,however I do believe my problem lies within the hardware not the eye or what I am percepting.Becouse if the same scene,same game was playing much smoother 2-3 seconds ago but stuttered suddenly,I can easily tell the difference.Thing is the FPS Meter insists on staying above sixties,and I need to get this fixed.

There are microstutters, but that usually happens with Crossire or SLI configurations. However games like Witcher 2 suffer from it, and require a patch or workaround to eliminate the stutters. FPS may say 60-70, but it feels like 20. I would try different drivers first and foremost.
FPS Meter is wrong?
