Ghosting effect!!

Not really sure what this problem is, but as it's showing on the monitors, i thought i see if i can get help here

Ok in bf3, bf4, When turning with my mouse left, right up and down, i get this ghosting effect. if i'm flying in a jet, heli, i don't get this at all, it's very smooth.. i didn't know what this was called untill i researched it.

I found A youtube clip (which isn't mine of course) which shows the same problem i'm having!!

The 2 monitors i tried, are Hannspree HF-289HJB, and the Acer X223HQ.

Could be many things. Response time, frame rate, overshoot problems, the way your eye tracks movement on a sample and hold type display like this. Have a read of this article

I think it's probably the game doing it. Usually frame "smoothing" does stuff like that because it puts in extra frames. Looks terrible, I don't know why devs bother with it.

I had that king of effect happening in BF4 with my new monitor, i played around and for me turning Vsync on fixed the problem and now its a lot smoother.
May not be your issue but just something i had.

You sure it wasn't tearing ?

Only happens with v.sync on.
I just changed the 7970's (which i'm selling) to a single 290! and still the same, but not as bad as when i had crossfire!! don't think i ever go back to crossfire, unless i find the right monitor.

I get a kind of lag with the mouse with v.sync on! but far to much tearing with it off!! not sure how some don't get tearing when going over there refresh rate!
Drives me crazy, as i can't aim very well lol.
