Horizontal "slicing" of image

"Slicing" is the only way I know to describe it. But the problem is when in
game "HL DoD" to be specific, when you have a stationary image (by
stationary I mean not moving the mouse to look around, but there might be
figures running around) and you suddenly move the mouse sideways ( to mouse
look left or right) the screen image seems to slice horizontally for a
fraction of a second so the top half has to catch up with the bottom half
(or vice versa).

I am running a GF3 Ti500, 4403 drivers. Is this symptom the same as
"tearing" and/or does anyone know the cure or a setting I have to tweak?

Turn V-sync on.

That is a refresh issue, it may be that you are running the game with the
detail to high, lower the res and turn off added graphic effocts like that
model option (can't remember the name) in the player setup options.

That should sort it out, but i don't know why you would get that on that
card, it should be more than enough even with the particle effects added in
one of the later patches.
