I am extremely surprised that anything Myth does is pushing the  
limits of graphic memory speed on even the cheapest video cards  
available.

I guess XvMC would be the most intense thing Myth would ask of the  
card, but even that would seem to be less than most modern games are  
doing.

Is there any chance that your increasing the graphics memory speed is  
doing something else that might be correcting the tearing ? Perhaps  
something having to do with timings other than emory clock.

I don't know much about the internal workings of video cards, I'm  
just surprised that "mere" video comes so close to RAM clock limits.  
This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone running into such  
a problem.
