PC Games suffer from huge stuttering or screen tearing

Hey, I recently update my NVIDIA Drivers for my laptop, and now there seems to be a major issue. When I play certain games with V-Sync off, like Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2, I get a lot of screen tearing. If I turn on V-Sync, now there is major stuttering whenever I move my aiming reticle around. Its very noticeable and distracting, almost makes you a bit dizzy. Everything gets blurred and I was wondering if anyone has a fix for this. For Metro 2033 I get huge stuttering and there is no V-Sync option at all as far as I know.

I have a Lenovo Y-500 laptop with an Intel i5 3230m processor@2.60 GHZ, Dual NVIDIA Geforce GT 650m running in SLI, 6GB of ram with a 1920x1080 screen. It runs everything pretty smoothly, like Crysis 2 runs @1080p and I can get close to 60FPS with extreme settings and Direct X11 turned on. Also I can max everything out on Starcraft 2 @1080p and it runs perfect. The games mentioned above run at high framerates, but like I said I get a lot of screen tearing if I don't use V-Sync, but V-Sync causes huge stuttering, which is even worse. I don't know why it stutters for certain games when V-Sync is on doing. I tried using frame rate limiters with third party programs like EVGA precision but it still stutters unless I limit it to frame limits about 60, and that just causes it to stutter. I want to limit the framerate to prevent screen tearing, but I also want to stop screen tearing as well, because that's very annoying. If anyone knows something that can help I would greatly appreciate it. I believe it's probably a bug in NVIDIA's latest drivers, but maybe there's an easy fix for it.

Screen-tearing is due to the refresh rate to your monitor. So if you have a 60hz monitor and you're getting more than 60 frames per second, you need to use vsync to eliminate the screen-tearing. Or you could buy a 120/144hz monitor. That's what v-sync is for. There are very few games that can handle high frame rates with very little screen-tearing. One of those games is Battlefield 3... it barely tears.Elann2008
