Question about vsync and screen tearing?

[buzzard]

Wondering if anyone knows about screen tearing without vsync. I get smoking frame rates without, but get really annoying tearing/flickering around the prop. I can put vsync on (to correct the flicker) but am of course limited to the refresh on my monitor - 60fps. The propeller effect is better without vsync on, but i pretty much have to have it. Something of a quandary...

If there are any fixes so i can run CoD without vsync on, does anyone know?

I have:
AMD 965 BE 3.4
8 gB RAM
2 x 5830 in Crossfire
LCD Dell ST2410
