Tearing, vsync, and input lag

I've done that as well. It still produces the same input buffering/lag phenomena. :(
Surely im just missing something simple. There is nothing exotic about my setup.

Gray_Area:

I've noticed threads like this in recent times. The common denominators seem to be newer computers and recent MAME.

RVZ:

I also have this problem on my arcade.  Eventually just gave up.  I did get some better results with the tearing by using different drivers I think.  But some games like Wonderboy I just can't fix.  The tearing is horrible, but when I enable vsync, the sound is all screwed up.  The pc is a dual core pc, so it's not the hardware.  And like others have said, I've been into Mame for more than 10 years now, and it definitely wasn't like this back then.  And then it was on much slower pc's.

I've been doing some digging and it looks like there may be an issue with ATI cards that causes the input 'queing' lag. I'm still researching. Going to have to try a few different video cards and see what happens.

Sound stuttering with vsync has been addressed with SailorSat's cabmame (though it does affect the pitch of the sound produced, that certainly wouldn't bother me any).
