Wired line effect (screen tearing?)

Hi,
i made a small program that draws a rotating line. The problem is that when i set the rotation speed to a high value i see this effect:

EDIT: Apparently you cant see the effect when i take a screenshot - but it looks like it is drawing multiple lines like this: https://i.ibb.co/0KqHskN/imageedit-2-9422376044.png

I initially thought it had something to do with screen tearing and so i tried calling glfwSwapInterval(1) to enable vsync but that doesn’t fix it.

Does anybody know why this is occurring? and how to fix it?

If you can’t see the effect when you take a screenshot, but you can see it in the video, it’s possible what you are seeing is just due to the monitor pixel response time.

If you take a video with something which can record lossless video such as FRAPS you should be able to look at each frame and check.
