Same here and the transition between new game and the menu screen is less than smooth as well.

Try the following:
Open the folder "My Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config"
Open the file "DishonoredEngine.ini" with Notepad.exeFind the following section:
bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=30
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=130
Change the last line to your native monitor refresh rate (probably 60), so:
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=60
And save the file!
What SmoothFrameRate actually does, is smoothing out the framerate by decreasing framerate spikes (which for the viewer look like stutter/frame skipping). If you change it to 60 (for some reason the default value is 130), if that's also your monitor's refresh rate the game will appear much smoother. At least it did it for me (on a dual-gpu Radeon 6990). You probably might have to enable VSync as well (I have it on by standard but not everyone does), but I don't know for sure...
