Question / Help Screen Tearing in recordings/stream

So I started to attempt to record at 720p/60FPS on CS:GO. The problem is I was having terribly screen tearing when watching the playback (And I noticed in the preview window it was as well) I found that enabling Triple Buffer in CS:GO's VSync option actually resolved this 100% but now because of Vsync in CS:GO there's input lag on the mouse side.

I've seen people use OBS without Vsync on CS:GO without this issue so my question is what do I need to do to resolve this without using VSync?

Computer Specs:

Intel i5-4570 @ 3.2Ghz
8GB RAM
Geforce 550Ti
3 Monitor Setup (All regular 60hz)

Settings:

Output

Encoder: QuickSync H.264 (My CPU usage goes from 30%+ to ~8% if I use this over x264)
Target Usage: Quality
Profile: Baseline
Keyframe Interval: 2 (I think Twitch says this is the best?)
ASync Depth: 2 (Dunno)
Rate Control: CBR
Bitrate: 5000

Video

Base Res: 1600x900
Output Res: 1280x720
Downscale Filter: Bicubic
FPS: 60


Like I said the stream / videos look great like this but I have some mouse input lag because it requires me to use Vsync.\

Last Log (Dunno if needed)

Thanks in advance!
 
you must use vsync of you want to stream/record, there is no other way.
as for the mouse lag, is there a setting in game like "raw mouse data"? another thing is only csgo players have problem with this. isnt it more of a superstition than a real thing?

change Downscale Filter: Bicubic to Lanczos
change Profile: Baseline to High
use QSV ICQ mode=23 for recording, quality will be much better, CBR isnt good for recording
ASync Depth: 2 (Dunno) - make it 4 as was in default
its also good to have CoreAudio installed, info in my signature
