Camera Stuttering and Screen Tearing

[Lerend]

Don't quote me on it, but can it be an ATI issue? I don't see any screen tearing on my 260GTX.
Oh and MSI Afterburner is not outdated...

From what i've managed to skim from ancient forum posts around release, it seems like ATI cards are affected by this a lot more (probably due to the poor vsync enforcement). The tearing is definitely a vsync issue and I read a few people fixed it by using MSI Afterburner to enforce 100% Vsync.

However, I have a Sapphire card, not an MSI card, and the last official update to afterburner was v2.1.0 released on 2/15/11, almost a year ago. I'd rather not take the risk of it not playing nice with the latest drivers or a non-msi card just for a little bit of screen tearing.

As for the stutter, it's driving me up the wall :/

Just use the afterburner bro, it's not the Brand you need to worry about, but the card, all ATI cards in a series across the brands use different drivers, all the cards are made in the same way, so if MSI makes the same type of card that you use from Sapphire, the Afterburner utility will have full support for it, the brand is nothing more than the card's paintjob.
