Why does a game tear or flicker when moving the camera fast but when playing back the Shadowplay video it is not there?

Running GTA V with a GTX970 I get flickering or tearing. I'm only around 2500MB settings wise. Using a LG 60hz TV. Like a light pole, I turn the camera fast and the pole separates. I enabled and disabled vsync and other heavy settings (including in nvidia) and tried 30hz but it shows during gameplay either way. Is this my TV causing the problems?

i5 3450
500gbssd
gtx 970
8gb ram
xps 8500 dell
600 watt psu
 
Solution
The screen tearing is because the GPU is sending pictures not synch'ed with the monitor/TV refresh rate.
This is a common problem and your GPU +TV are fine.
Try to activate VSync and see how things go.
If you still see Tearing with VSync on...well..I dunno anymore how to solve the problem
