Question / Help Stuttering issue

Within the last few days, I noticed that my stream has pretty bad quality. Therefore, I decided to make it look good. With the input of one of my friends, I got it to work at 600p 50fps with 1125kbps. The next day, I went into a server and noticed that my ping was high and unstable. I tried turning down the send buffer size and that didn't work. Pretty much the only thing that would work would be going back to my old 500kbps 400p 30fps stream.

Today, I was trying to fix it again. I gave up and looked here for help. Noticed a thread about stuttering, and saw turning Aero on as a potential solution. I reasoned that this might work for me. It did. I can now stream at 600p 50fps with 1125kbps with around my normal ping. There's just one problem: my game stutters now! I believe this is because of the vsync produced by Aero, so I would like to turn it off. The problem is, I apparently can't. According to Lange, it might be because I have an AMD video card. Is he wrong and I'm able to turn off vsync completely?

I'd have be at your computer to know exactly what's going on - it's a little bit better to have aero on when using window capture. When using monitor capture however, aero should always be off.

I am using window capture. I was hesitant to turn Aero on as you apparently can't turn vsync off when it's on if you have an ATI/AMD card and drivers.

I turned tessellation off in the driver settings (can't remember if this is the default or if I turned it on because I thought it would be cool... probably default.). Seems to be doing better, but I do notice my FPS going below 75fps (my monitor is 75Hz).
