I am getting so sick of this issue. I have to add my weekly complaint about it lol. I really can't understand why you (gohan2091) wouldn't be able to enable vsync though. I haven't had any such issues. although even with vsync enabled, I get tearing. In most games, you can specify the refresh rate in the game - mine usually is set to 59Hz by default, so I get tearing with vsync enabled regardless if I leave it on 59Hz or 60Hz. I have replayed games (CoD Modern Warfare) that I remember specifically never to have given me any tearing issues under XP, but now it does. So clearly there's an issue. I will keep repeating myself until this gets fixed: there's a problem somewhere and I don't buy Microsoft's explanation about the number rounding - if it was just that I wouldn't care, but I get tearing with vsync enabled and refresh rates set (in game) to both 59Hz and 60Hz. And to this day nobody has explained to me what refresh rate is my system set to. What happens if I really want my monitor to run at 59Hz, if the setting "59Hz" is actually 60Hz, then how do you get real 59Hz? Just asking. I don't buy this rounding nonsense. Don't be shy people, keep posting here and grow this thread so that it becomes substantial. I am a gamer and I use my PC for watching movies. For me tearing is a real issue which shouldn't be an issue with an OS which is marketed on its visual and multimedia experience premise. Clearly video tearing was a non-issue in XP, and Vista, and it's an issue in Windows7 and yet Microsoft is blaming our hardware? BULL ****!!!
