It's worth checking the driver settings for your graphics card (be it AMD or Nvidia).

AMD catalyst control centre or crimson or whatever they have now and I have no idea what Nvidia call theirs these days

Often there will be vsync settings in there that will override the game settings.

If it is genuine screen tearing its casued by your frame rate being higher than the refresh rate on your monitor, so turn supersampling up to 1.5 or 2 and see if that helps as this will lower the framerate

I have it drops my frame rate to 45 but I cant play like that, but it didnt do this before i upgrades my i5 to i7. BTW my gpu is nvidia gtx 960 4gb

actually im not sure if its actual screen tearing but it is liked a jagged edge with a line between textures that appear pixelated ant the pixels move depending on the way im looking at it

Well on the assumption that your monitor is 60hz you want to play with settings to try and get them around that mark, the problem is that some bits of elite will render huindreds of frames and tohers will render 45 with the same settings.

Find your Nvidia control panel or whatever it is called from your desktop and see if there are settigns to force vsync.

If I can be honest upgrading your cpu to a more powerful one is not going to be the cause of a frame rate drop unless you have done some really off the beaten path kind of overclocking that is going wrong, or maybe it's not been installed correctly and is overheating and throttling. What is more likley is that a patch to the game is causing it to put you gpu through more work and its fps has dropped or nvidia have released a driver which gives worse performance and that is what you are noticing.

Have you updated your gpu drivers recently?

My gpu drivers are up to date, my fps hasent dropped since i upgrades just weird texture lines that are pixelated and when i look around they change shapes like the line adjusts not really sur ehow to explain this but its really bothering me.

imagine those pixelated lines on the edges of the textures moving while looking around

Ah ok, I think i'm starting to understand, do you mean jagged bits on "straight lines" and on the edges of things like panels and corners of walls etc?

Thats alisaing, and you need to turn up the games anti aliasing to counter it. so supersampling and the AA, on e sec ill check my options

In your graphics options the one above supersampling that says aa or anti aliasing, what is the drop down set on ?

One of the aa settings is broken, try mlaa x4 instead and see if that helps
