I know that screen tearing is the shimmery like stuff you see in many videogames, I just don't know if it also cause the jaggies you see in video games or not.

But your right I don't know much about how graphics work because I'm not a fracking developer or a code junkie. I just play my damn vidoegames and if I like it I play it, if I don't like it I don't play it. 

I enjoy high visual fidelity but that does NOT mean I know a ton about graphics. When I said in the other thread I knew a lot about graphics concerning 360, PS3, ect, I was talking about purely the visual aspect of it. I know what games on those systems look like....that is mostly the extent of my graphical knowledge.

Shimmery stuff would probably be bloom lighting and this softens jaggies if anything. Tearing means that the picture breaks horizontally, because the processor skips part of a frame and it's more notable while rotating the camera left or right.

Top third doesn't line up with the bottom two thirds of the picture. That is an example of screen tearing.

Wow i've never seen anything like that in a video game before (maybe I don't notice screen tearing then)

But the shimmery stuff I was talking about isn't the light bloom...they may be just the jaggies I was thinking about.
