Is this a freshly installed PC or did you have a previous video card installed with different drivers?
 
yea it's a very common and well known problem with ATI cards.
read these threads, you'll have to excuse the flame fest in the first one, the second one is a little more clear:

their first suggestions are:
fps_max "99" (some may argue 100 or 101)
ati_npatch "0"
ati_subdiv "0"
Set in the config file (make sure there are no duplicate entries for this)
Additonally you may want to try:
cl_himodels "0"
In the config file
Try Vsync set to ALWAYS OFF in the ATI control panel
