He says the problem is HDMI->DVI and that two monitors with miniDP to DVI active adapter will fix the problem.

That's odd. HDMI and DVI have identical digital signals, so that should not be the issue. Can I get a link to the forum?

EDIT: The adapter looks fine, but nothing more or less than other single-link active adapters.

Dear Sir
Check and wait for next driver update. Thank you.

I encourage all of you guys with tearing problems to let @CatalystCreator know it in twitter, I have already sent a couple of tweets related to this matter with no answer yet. Maybe if a lot of us let him know he won't turn a blind eye on the matter.

Sure, let them know. But rumors have it they've always said; yeah, we're going to adress the issue, but nothing ever really happens. But thou must not lose thy hope! (I hope that proper english)

I was able to fix this problem. In AMD VISION Engine Control Center go to Position Windows Taskbar and check Position the Windows taskbar on a single display.

Catalyst 12.4 have just been released, look at this line from the Release Notes:

- Tearing is no longer observed on the third screen in 3x1 and 1x3 Eyefinity configurations

An AMD betatester of Rage3D forum said that it didn't fix it for him, but who knows... even if it's not fixed for everyone, this makes me think it CAN be fixed.

EDIT: Now he says that he can't understand why it appears at the release notes because it CAN'T be fixed via drivers. Oh well... let's wait and see.

Sorry guys, those release notes were really misleading. Here's what has been fixed:

"We had an issue where the tearing was really, really bad (actual gaps occurred where the tearing was), and accompanied by bad flickering and not the normal tearing that occurs when you have different display interfaces."
