Windows 7 Basic Mode no aero screen tear issue

[techsavvy01]

I'm trying to screen record and I have to use basic mode so the record will be smoother. However there is screen tear, I tried enabling v-sync in amd settings no luck. What gives?

Hello;

what do you mean 'screen tear', is there a way you could send a screenshot?

Looking into it a bit it seems a lot of people have issues with  Non Aero (Aero Basic) modes and screen tearing. VSync cannot be enabled because it's not a 3-D rendered  scene but rather more like a frame buffer.

Aero shouldn't affect performance even while recording unless you have a older graphics card.
