My computer specs are as follows:
MB:MSI-A75MA-E35
Processor:AMD athlon x4 750k
RAM:16 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram 2 8 gb sticks in dual channel memory
GPU:Gigabyte r9 270x factory overclocked GPU
PSU:Corsair 500w

The problem i am currently having is screen tearing in games, the screen will create a horizontal slash and although this does not make games extremely hard to play as it does not happen every second, it can get very annoying, it will happen as often as once every 15 minutes, and sometimes even more, According to what i have read on the internet about screen tearing is the refresh rate of the monitor not matching the refresh rate of the game and what other forums said was enabling Vsync would fix this problem, in fact it did not the screen tearing happened the same amount of times if not more. The specific game it happens the most in is World Of Warcraft and I have tried changing the refresh rate and turning on Vsync to no avail.I play at 1920x1080 resolution on my games my display is one i recently bought and is an HP pavillion 22bw IPS monitor that has a resolution of 1920x1080p. If there is any more information I can provide please let me know, In advance thank you for the feedback and answers to this question I appreciate them greatly.

Sincerely,

Sean

Are you using Eyefinity? If not, what game is it? Unless the game does not support V-sync, or maybe if you are using Eyefinity, if V-sync is on, you do not get tearing. So if it isn't Eyefinity, or the game's problem, then your monitor or GPU is at fault.

Are you applying VSYNC in the game options, or forcing through AMD control center? You could also try a frame limiter...ive noticed some of the worse tearing ive had is when the GPUs are pushing too high of frames for my 60hz.

Not entirely sure, but I'd definitely make sure you have latest graphics drivers for sure. I know AMD just released a new one within last few weeks. I'd also make sure mobo bios is updated, crazy how smallest things like that screw system up. Otherwise, id recommend making sure that gpu is at default, maybe perhaps a part of it got tweaked and its going well. Also would try gaming without fraps and a bunch of monitoring software running in background. Otherwise id suggest trying the game out on a lower quality setting for graphics, or use the rapter thing amd has and make game setting on optimal for that specific game and more for smoothness less for beauty.

I did update my graphics drivers so that should'nt be the problem, as far as the Mobo BIOS i am at version 2.2 and the newest is 2.30 the biggest problem there is that i cant flash a new BIOS because when i go to MSI to get the newest BIOS firmware, it just gives me a 404 no matter which link i pick ( there is 3 links, one for US,Europe, and Asia) I was not able to update them on either of the 3
