[@blaydv2242]

Boga I have a question. Does screen tearing happen if you get less fps than your monitors max?

[@MartinPaprocki]

It is not true that you can resolve the problem by lowering your fps. If anything it will only make the tearing more noticeable, because you will be able to look at the faulty frame for a longer time. The underlying problem is that the frame-buffer feeds the monitor frames out of sync. This can happen at any refresh rate, both higher and lower than your monitors refresh rate. The statement at 1:07 is false.

[@danielberg5908]

Is it because the game it self dont lock the fps rate? And rivatuner just couse more screen tearing?

[@theShadeslayer]

Yeah 1:07 was puzzling to me bc I've thought that unlocking frames above the monitor hz cap allows for smoother gameplay, and for a lot of the games I play I render frames above the hz of my monitor but I don't experience frame tearing at all

@@maazpatel9532 You can try the Nvidia Ultra low latency mode in the nvidia graphic settings. It works incredible for me without any microstutters and WAY less input delay.

[@Sultansekte]

but yeah if your gpu isn't strong enough vsync causes stutter if it's fall under 60fps. Sometimes it can help to use vsync (ingame) and additionally use rivatuner (or something else) to cap at 60fps. (yeah sounds weird, but it improves the frametime = less stutter) If you really can't hold 60fps even with lower graphic settings, then cap it at 45fps with vsync on. For me that looks fluid enough in most cases.

And the game itself has it during play here and there. todays preview was looking smooth though.

screen tearing happens when your GPU and your Monitor are out of sync which means your FPS are either to high or to low. it can also have something to do with frametime 60fps means 60 pictures per second but it doesnt tell u how consistent those frames are. your gpu could render 20 frames in half a second and then quickly renders the last 40 frames in the last half of the second.

I would normally put blame on the monitor before a graphics card, unless your graphics card is old. For games, why not try to lock the fps at 60fps (should be in game settings). As for youtube videos, mine are shot in 4k 30fps, so you could be experiencing screen tearing, does your monitor support adaptive sync, or just your graphics card?

[@CircuitsAnonymous]

It may be worth doing a clean uninstall, then reinstall on your graphics driver. I've had similar issues in the past, and doing a clean reinstall helped for me. At the worse, its the monitor, only way to test that however would be to try to game on another machine. Maybe a buddy has a gaming PC you could borrow for testing?

If you are playing a game at lower FPS than your refresh rate, don't enable it, unless there is also a triple buffering option. Your fps may then be locked to some integer divisor of 60 - 30 being the closest to 60, so you can lose a lot of FPS by enabling it.

I've never seen screen tearing in my life and I've been gaming for over a decade how tf are ya'll getting screen tear

[@asherkoh]

Same lol

[@clippt5598]

Asher Koh I turned v sync off and it screen teared

[@StanleyYK]

I set my fps to 60 fps on csgo and overwatch and still has tear and my monitor is 60hz

[@StanleyYK]

I’m using a laptop

[@cacaron9405]

yeah it happens even if u set 60 fps u gotta turn on v-sync

[@stevenlai4086]

SoriPanda thats your fault, you have a laptop.

[@StanleyYK]

Steven Lai So in laptops in only screen tears?

[@cacaron9405]

its not only for laptops

[@dripcapone]

I have vsync on and capped my fps in game to match my monitor and I’m still having it

[@shiv_raj_911]

if you are using windows 7 , just change your theme to aero themes it will resolve the issue , my mind was blown when i found out how easy is the solution

[@vexpho4512]

If I’m only getting 130 FPS on a 144 hz monitor do I need free sync

[@DreamofAnything]

Yes you need it cause screen tearing happens at fps not in sync with the refresh rate of the monitor,lower or higher.

[@vexpho4512]

Dream of Anything what if I only got a nvidia graphics card not amd, can I use gsync

[@DreamofAnything]

@@vexpho4512 you can use gsync with nvidea but you cannot use freesync with nvidea.For that you'll need amd card.Nvidea has officially given support to freesync but its still not much relevant.If you have nvidea card go for gsync(If your budget is high) but if you are on a budget i will suggest you to go for amd card with freesync monitor. Hope this helps

[@vexpho4512]

Dream of Anything I knew all of this already tbh, just wanted to make sure

[@yosher40]

What ? Why would you need vsync ? You don't need v sync if you are getting lower frames than what your monitor is displaying

[@gensoumusic2145]

so if your monitor refresh rate is high enough, you don't have to worry about it?

[@ArHahn]

True. Even below 50fps, no screen tearing.

[@MrBruh281]

I dont know maybe turn on vsync

[@jkspeacialist]

What if this doesn’t work

[@xxx6140]

Does it also happen with 4K UHD tvs?

[@dragonkight64dragonslayer62]

Yes

[@xIndicaxHigh]

I just had a screen tear happen on my PS4 Pro when i connected my console to my Flat Screen TV. It was during a Division 2 game session.

[@yosher40]

Most televisions are 60 hertz

[@mochacobra6800]

i have a 75hz monitor i play minecrtaft on 75 fps and i still get screen tearing

[@shiv_raj_911]

if you are using windows 7 , just change your theme to aero themes it will resolve the issue , my mind was blown when i found out how easy is the solution

[@zanethzarareth6747]

I can't afford a g-sync monitor and I'm worried about AMD driver issues, so I'll be stuck with a 144hz freesync monitor with an nvidia gpu. God save me.... -_-

[@progamer0256]

i have 144hz 2k display but nvidia control panel shows 60 hz

[@unlovedsenpai1045]

Are you hooked up via a HDMI?

[@progamer0256]

@@unlovedsenpai1045 now it's fine I used dp1.2 now I'm using higher versions

[@ronan4423]

Can this happen in a laptop

[@xenderlord2097]

Of course it can, depends on the refresh rate of the laptop screen though

[@Goksoi69]

I punched my screen not too fast but thats why it happens? Mine is laptop msi pe72

[@gn5383]

Thanks dude

[@atinofspam3433]

On a ps3? My ps3 has terrible vsync issues.

[@roanrovu3479]

Now i wonder what is screen tearing because ive never experienced this because i have other problems. Fps drop. Potato gaming

[@PyricDemon]

my tearing only accures during watching videos

[@c4keizerg354]

Do i get tear if i will get 144hz and in some games i hit like 100fps ????

[@goodmfvibes8821]

Screen tear only occurs when you're playing games at Higher fps then what your refresh rate says. For example: If you have a 60hz monitor and you're playing a game and it's 100 fps then your monitor will develop screen tearing
