    Hi dudes,

    I seem to get problems with screen tearing, which can be quite annoying at times. Most of the time i get it is either playing Crysis or Gears of War, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can eliminate this?

    my system specs are in my sig, also, this is my monitor:

    Enable Vertical Sync (VSync) either in Game or in your driver control panel.

    LCD's normally have a refresh rate of 60, so if you're getting 60+FPS, you may experience tearing.
