Page Tearing

[Ichi]

I wasn't sure wether to post it at monitors or graphic cards, so did it here.

I'm having some really annoying tearing issues (page tearing, screen tearing) , I can fix it at games by putting vsync on or forcing it with D3DOverrider but there are two things really annoying me.

Vsync doesn't work in windowed mode (@ WoW, TF2), I do get capped at 60 fps but there is tearing, having vsync ON in windowed mode sometimes even makes the tearing worse... This is really annoying, since I need windowed mode to watch movies while playing (always on top stuff).

I can't get vsync to work in CCC, so I get tearing when watching movies, D3Doverrider also doesn't fix that... I do notice that the tearing is worse on my 32 inch tv with a hdmi cable then on my 20 inch with a dvi cable...

Anyone knows how to fix this? I've been googling for months know and it's really annoying the hell out of me D: Speccs:

Hd4870 512 mb OC
E8400 @ 3.4 ghz
Msi P35 Neo-f
4 gb ram
620 volt electricity supply (so that isn't the problem).

My temperatures are fine, Hd4870 gpu is ~35 degrees on idle and my processor 31 degrees idle... And that are the temps when watching movies to.

Thanks.

Edit: Also got the newest drivers with a CLEAN install and also tryed 8.11 a while ago but I vaguely remember that also doesn't work.

Hmm i asked a while back if there was a way to force on V sync in normal windows, i don't think i got an answer, if running in windowed mode it will use windows settings which will mean tearing, i also tired forceing V sync on direct draw but no differance, sorry all i can offer is bad news......

If you do find a way, please post it up in your thread

Okay,

nice anyway to know it's not something wrong in my videocard Already was able to fix the tearing when watching movies, had to delete something that I used to be able to play HD on some program, and reinstall all mediaplayers.

Gonna wait if there's any fix for the windowed mode problem
