gtx 760 AMD A8-3870 64bit windows 7 8gb ram LV2311 set at 60hx at 1920x1080 monitor im getting excessive screen tearing injust about everything. I don't seem to get the problem as much in games that aren't as dependent(league) but I do in games such as dayz or even a lot of tearing on videos like this

I've tried adaptive vsync, disabling physx, reinstalling drivers. So far nothing has worked... Any tips? Please help!

It could be your CPU. That is a pretty weak CPU so it is bottlenecking your GPU in games, as for out of games it could be running slow from background apps causing lag on the video.

It could also be that you are playing online games with a poor internet connection causing lag.

I run league at a stable 60-70 and on most sites that CPU benchmarks upper-high

Then I would say you are likely getting lag from internet connection.

As for the CPU, I'm just being honest its not that great. It only gives maybe 60% of performance of what a modern Intel Core i3 would give, probably only about the same for a modern AMD quad-core, both of which are budget $100 units meant more for office work than gaming.

could you reccomend a CPU that would work better than mine for around 150-200?

Unfortunately the one you are using is an FM1 socket CPU, which means to upgrade would require a new motherboard also, and while its possible to get a decent 20% improvement or so for around $200 for a CPU and motherboard upgrade, you would be better to save up a bit longer get about $250-$300 then buy an Intel motherboard with an i5 or Xeon CPU.

For the time being you should go to speedtest.net and check your bandwidth connection.

Ping(latency) is more important for lag-free experience rather than raw speed.

Use pingtest.net too to check packet loss and ping.

speedtest.net also does a ping test, he doesn't need to do another one of those.

Your internet speed checks out, so it shouldn't be the issue. Could be a driver issue though.

I'd still recommend a test at pingtest.net.

That's an excellent result - the most MOS I've seen till now is 4.38, yours is a tad bit above that, which is excellent.
That rules out the internet connection. The other options are CPU, graphics card, monitor, monitor cable, video port.

Try alternatives for each one. Of course not the CPU; but you could try changing the graphics card for any older ones you have lying around; try a different monitor cable; try a different monitor if that is an option; or try a different port(HDMI instead of DVI for example).
