Hi,
When I'm playing games in full screen, there's strange lines when I move the camera horizontally and it's really annoying.
The problem seems to go away when I'm playing in windowed mode. Also, when I recorded it with fraps the lines weren't there.
This is what it looks like.

Sorry for the quality of the video.
I don't think it's a frame rate problem because I get 70 FPS maxed out.
So, what could this be and how do I fix it?
Thanks.
 
Solution
Looks like screen tearing to me. If you want to see if it's frame rate related try turning vertical sync on. That should give you the smoothest video.

Tried it just now, frame rate drops to 10 when I move around and I don't know why. My monitor is 60 fps.
