Right now I'm running the exact same setup as you adapter wise. What driver are you using?

8.921.5 from Sapphire Download page!

Ok, the driver has helped, now I only have tearing on my side screens so I don't notice it as much. I just hope they fix this problem, it has to be driver related... If not I don't get why it has gotten better with the new driver (I previously had 8.921.2)...

I knew it. Still tearing :/ That's exactly why I'm getting an Asus HD7970. If you love portrait mode and want to get rid of the tearing, I suggest you do the same. But I'll let you know how the card is the minute I get it!

Thanks man. I have opened a sapphire support ticket, lets see what they say.

Your not alone, my Sapphire 7970 is doing it too and im using the same connector setup, but considering there is limited driver support out there right now im sure it will be resolved (hopefully) in the next release.

Normally I just get tearing in games with Vsync off but im getting it in videos the works atm.. Soon see.

I notice you using drivers provided by Sapphire, why is this instead of using drivers direct form AMD?
What is the difference exactly?

At first I was using the official AMD drivers the ".2" but then I tried the drivers that were on the Sapphire website that are newer, the ".5". With the official AMD drivers I had tearing all over the place and with the newer ones, the ones that are on Sapphire's website I only have tearing in my side screens (and only one line in each one).

Ahh ok, good to know for future reference.
Cheers.
