Help me with strange screen tear issue!

[mckevstah]

Okay, i haven't tried Skyrim yet but in all Battlefield games i get very bad screen lag. But before you reply good sir's here's where it gets funky.

Im not even achieving over 60fps (Which is my monitor)

I'm getting around 48 - 60. And if i enable Vsync it makes playing worse!

Please help (Also i have tried turning it on in CCC no luck)

AMD phenom II X4 850 3.3Ghz (OC to 3.5)

screen lag, as in you can "see" it drawing frames eg. a pillar that should be straight is slightly to the left or right half way down the screen when your turning and it is moving across your screen?

Try triple buffering? It does what vsync does without the input lag associated with vsync.

If you mean that you move the mouse, and the screen takes a little while to move, then that is input lag and not tearing, and again, triple buffering is better than vsync but not quite as perfect as none. Often this is down to your monitor having a scaling device in it and you cant help it.

Any chance you can record a video/screenshot/photo of it?

Tried the FPS limiter on MSI AfterBurner? I find this much better for screen tearing instead of vsync, as vsync always gives mouse lag for me.

Make sure you record it with an external device so we can see the monitor as well. Screen tearing will not appear when using video capture software such as Fraps.
