Question about vsync and screen tearing?

[310thDiablo]

radeonPro has been causing me video issues in both IL2 and in CoD. I cannot use it.

Something of a quandary...

If there are any fixes so i can run CoD without vsync on, does anyone know?

I have:
AMD 965 BE 3.4
8 gB RAM
2 x 5830 in Crossfire
LCD Dell ST2410

I just solved this by forcing vSync always ON via VGA Control panel and setting it off for the in-game settings.
The result is still frame sync with monitor refresh rate (60fps) but a smooter transition between frames (propeller looks better in other words).

S!
