Choppy framerate after windows upgrade and re-install of sh5

Hi all, after not playing sh5 for a while i recently installed it again. I expected it to run like it did on my old OS (XP Pro) but I also upgraded to Win 7 and now the framerate looks choppy. According to the ingame fps thingie the framerate is fluctuating between 60 and 110 while outside; exactly what I had on XP. But it doesn't look smooth at all; it just keeps on being jerky.
My pc is perfectly capable of running the game even on Win7 so I am at a loss here. I looked at my monitor's refresh rate and tried disabling and enabling vsync and triple buffering but no effect...also tried with low AA and AF setting but no luck. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I'm running the game @ 1680x1050 at 60Hz on a HD4870 Toxic, I have 4 gigs of memory and a Core2Duo @ 3,2 Ghz. I really hope I can get this sorted...
