Tearing in monitors....

[impuLsive]

The AL1706 LCD (Made by ACER) has GREATER tearing than the Samsung 997df. Why is that? What causes more tearing on monitor then another? I have tearing on my 997df after I went from a AL1706 and I want a LCD (Not a CRT, too much space) that will not tear. Specs:

E6600
DS3 motherboard
7950gt
1 gig (512x2 corsair ram)

mat_vsync 1 fixes it, but It causes mouse lag which there is no fix for.

you need to enable v-sync in order to stop tearing, period. LCD's only run (usually) at 60HZ, and if your framerates are higher than that you WILL get tearing.
If you dont like to turn on v-sync, then you are out of luck, because there is NO fix for this

So do i only have the following options:

1) Play with Vsync on, and be happy that there is no tearing, but be mad about mouse lag.
2) Play with Vsync off, and be mad about tearing, but be happy that there is no mouse lag.
