Extreme tearing

[forrehmmnd]

Ok, so my friend, probably more knowledgeable then me, has a problem that neither of us can figure out. When ever a video or game becomes fast pace, the top and the bottom of the image start to tear like crazy. Hes tried multiple monitors, wide screen and normal, crt and lcd. Hes also tried three different video cards. For movies, hes tried vlc, widows media player, win amp and many more with the same problem.

Any thoughts ?

You could try turning on vsync. I know that with fps games, it's not exactly ideal, but it should be better than the tearing you're mentioning.

Its with games and video, no matter what. If it gets fast paced, it tears, i can tell him to try though

turn down the monitor refresh frequency a bit?

I talked to him, he says hes tried both of those to no avail.
