I built my brother a rig the other day to play titanfall and threw a sapphire radeon 7870 in it. I don't have much experience with AMD cards, I've always used nvidia myself. After building the pc and downloading all drivers I hoped into a titanfall match and got a massive amount of screen tearing. I was getting a constant 60 fps which leads me to believe it is not v-sync. I've tried 3 different driver clean installs for the card and nothing.

Things I've tried:
Beta driver, stable driver, AMD mantle latest driver.
Reseating graphics card.
Forcing v-sync in game and/or forcing v-sync in catalyst.
Uninstalled card and drivers and tried installing a 6870 with driver and that also did not work.
Different Dvi cables, two hdmi cables, dvi to hdmi cable.

PC Specs
AMD Fx4300 3.8ghz
MSI G970a-G43
Sapphire Radeon 7870
600 watt EVGA PSU bronze
8gb of corsair vengance ram 1600mhz
Samsung 1080p 60hz hdtv

You should put all the settings in the catalyst to Let Application Decide, and then turn V-Sync on in the game, make sure you are saving your changes, then restart the game for good measure.
You should never experience screen tearing with VSync on, however, VSync can introduce input lag.

So the 7870 and the 6870 produce the same issue?

That makes me wonder if the PCI slot is bad, or if the PSU is outputting the correct wattage on the 12v rail. Although I'm not sure if a PSU issue would cause screen tearing... maybe.

Do you have another PSU to test with by chance?

I tested the psu don't think it's the case. thing about the pci slot is that I can't put it in the second one because it's so low the card won't fit between it and the psu

Okay, if you have OC'd your CPU on that board, that's *MIGHT* be your issue right there. Although I think 3.8Ghz is the stock frequency for that chip, which you listed above. So if it's not OC'd then.. I dunno.

From what I have read, the MSI 970A-G series are known for being poor boards for overclocking. They have very poor VRM cooling and they tend to get really hot and usually die eventually from overclocking.

I don't know if this is what's causing your particular issue, but I just thought you should know that those boards do indeed have issues.
