Microstutter or just plain old screen tearing (CF setup)?

I finally got my CF 4850 setup working and fired up AoC. My FPS sit around 50-60 which is great. However, when I start to run around I noticed what looks like slight horizontal screen tearing occurring on the bottom 1/3 of the screen (not the whole screen). I switched VSYNC to ON and I still notice it. Is this just a "feature" of CF/SLI? :) From what I've read about microstutter it doesn't appear to fall into that category but who knows as this is my first CF/SLI setup.

Thanks.
 
Where are your turning vsync on? If its in the ATI Catalyst Control Center then that wont do anything because your running Vista. If the game doesnt have a vsync option then you have to use D3D overrider or ATI tray tool.
 
It's always a good idea to test each card individually in a multi-GPU setup. I learned that lesson with my setup a couple of weeks ago. I was noticing some funky jerkiness in SLI and hadn't tested each card by itself only to figure out that one card was bad when I went back and tested the cards indivudually.
