I recently bought a used powercolor hd 6950. I started playing borderlands 2 when the screen was splitting or tearing. I tried Furmark on it for exactly 5 mins and nothing happened (same resolution with borderlands). Anyone know how to fix this?
I am still a newbie with these things.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Would I need a new monitor? My monitor right now is an HP 2335 (1920x1200).

This is an example:

Have you installed the latest drivers including the beta (if there are any)?

Yes, I have. I tried both but still had the tearing.

Turn on VSync. It's really the only way to fix tearing.

Reason for this is that in given resolution and video settings, your video card renders much faster than your monitor's refresh rate. You have to synchronize the frame rate of your video card with your monitor. This is done by Vsync setting. I'm not sure on how this is done on radeon drivers, but you've to enforce vsync for at least this specific game you play. When you enable vsync, your tearing and splitting will be gone.
Any radeon control panel friendly users will help you more.

I have turned on Vsync and triple buffering through the radeon control and the settings ingame. And it still happens on borderlands.

I understand that. Even though you enabled vsync in-game, you still see tearing, which means game has issues. I found an article via google search for this issue at:
http://filenetworks.blogspot.com.tr/2009/10/borderlands...

Which tells about openning C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config\WillowEngine.ini and editing following attribute as shown;

UseVsync=True

Does this resolve your issue?
