Vsync/FPS issues

[bongpig]

Weird that you get tearing even when running in windowed or borderless mode. Try turning on OpenGL Triple Buffering in the AMD Control Center > Gaming > 3D Application Settings and see if that helps

Im afraid ive tried that too. If anything, it gets worse. Ive fiddled with all the settings both on the driver side and in-game, but the stutter/tearing persists.

The most curious thing is why would enabling vsync drop the framerate so badly? To go from 60fps to 40fps with settings on high is strange. Also worth looking at is why setting the in-game framerate to 50fps on a 50hz display would lock the game to 30. There is certainly something weird happening with vsync on my laptop.

Also worth noting is ive tried the game on 3 different displays. My laptop monitor, a plasma at both 60hz and 50hz and another LCD. all show the same symptoms.

EDIT

Actually, I can say the tearing is reduced in borderless mode. But it still stutters heavily. Even if I face a non-intensive corner of a room with all settings at their lowest, I get stutter - while the fps counter still shows a consistent 60fps.
