As far as judder goes, you have not identified the playback software that you are using. I personally use madVR which is dead smooth for my purposes.

On a related note, madVR can show the realtime refresh rate down to several decimal points of precision when playing a video by pressing Ctrl+J. My experience with AMD hardware(mainly laptops) is that the refresh rate in CRU has to be bumped up slightly(eg. .20Hz higher) as the actual refresh rate is slightly lower. Not sure if this is what's going on though.

Yeah SVP... that's what I've found out recently and I'm currently using it temporary until I can find a permanent solutions for this judder problem.
The reason for this is because I have this another issue when using SVP where I get dragonfly artifacts for some scenes/texts/subtitles like shown below (Take a close look at the plane on the left):

And I've made a whole thread about it in their forum: http://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1349.
As a result, I was able to minimize the effect but not completely... which is really annoying where I see subtitles or scene suddenly having a seizure interrupting my view.

I should of mentioned it earlier: I'm using potplayer with madVR as renderer. I've disabled smooth motion option from madVR when using SVP as someone told me those two won't work together.
Lastly, I didn't really get your last paragraph but are you suggesting me to bump up my refresh rate via CRU?

Anyway, I really need a perm solution or something and using CRU seems like a last resort as I have tried other softwares and they all failed.
Its either:
- Deal with judder/choppy panning shots
- Use SVP for smooth shots but deal with butterfly artifacts

Sigh... this is pissing me off so much.
