I am having severe image tearing in my games which mostly become visible in the form of choppiness or stuttering. In fact most of my problems are just related to image tearing the real performance problems may only be very minor or may not exist at all.

BF2
The game runs really choppy with Vsync off which seems to be image tearing when closely examined. With V Sync on, I get occasional stuttering especially while turning or moving the mouse cursor up and down.
FEAR
The game tends to run slightly choppy even when FPS are in 3 digits(100+). However with V Sync the game becomes really smooth as long as the FPS are at 60, the moment they drop below 60 the game tends to loose the smoothness and becomes worse. With V Sync off I get much more that 60FPS in many of those places.
Most Wanted
The trees etc seem to stutter with V Sync off and with V Sync on I get lagging/stuttering only during areas with major turns(I get this with or without Vsync but without Vsync it is much better). The game runs at 30FPS with V Sync making driving the car tight and tough.
ETC
Please tell me a way to get good FPS with V Sync and also for it to not cap my FPS to half my monitor frequency if it can't equal it.
ATI control panel has no way to set Triple/Z Buffering for Direct 3D Applications and if I set Triple Buffering from ATI Tray Tools, it doesn't work.
Please help me out with this image tearing. I get huge visible image tearing especially in games like Prey. Do others get these image tears as well, what do they do?
What are the causes of image tearing, could it be a bad monitor to GPU connector or port?
