Sounds like it's a non-SSD hard drive issue. Here are some things I've done to try and mitigate the "screen tearing".

1. Turn down Max FPS (see screenshot).
2. Turn down Particles.
3. Turn down Far Clip Plane.
4. /shownames OFF. People say that removing PC names helps reduce lag. Not certain about this.

I have an SSD that benchmarks like new - still get this issue.
I don't know if maybe I get it "less" than the average person with a mechanical hdd, but I still can't figure out why it happens. It is not often, but still happens from time to time each day.

I'll try some of these settings for the heck of it just to see if anything changes.

Ok so on my new pc running (got it a few days ago) and running windows 8.1 I have this same problems AND it would also lag out my TS as well.
The problem started slowly and seemed to have gotten worse over time so I did a restart/update and it removed the problem...until it came back again the next day.

Did another restart/update and BAM fixed again until it slowly started again.
Another restart/update and fixed.

Now I'm just guessing but it seems that my PC is saving/finding updates while I'm online and it seems to cause that pop/lag and restarting has been a temporary fix for me so far.

My older PC running win7 never had this problem, I swapped back to my old machine last night and it still runs the game fine.
Could this be a win 8+ problem only?
